Birds imitate mobile ringtones

Birds have started copying the ringing tones of mobile phones, according to ornithologists.

In Denmark, one man has christened a bird in his garden Nokia because it copies his phone.

An RSPB spokesman told Ananova that starlings are the most likely birds to copy ring tones.

He added: "Starlings do pick up sounds like telephone rings - they're very intelligent birds."

Copenhagen telecoms consultant John Strand, of Strand Consult, told Ananova the birds in the city have changed the way they sing.

He said: "One of my employees has a bird in his garden which he's called Nokia because of the way it copies his phone."
