They could even whistle the melodies of songs with multiple verses, if one had the patience to sing to them. The offspring were called mockingjays, and while they lost the ability to memorize and enunciate words, they could mimic any vocal sounds from a child's high-pitched warble to a man's deep tones. This was unforeseen, because no one expected the jabberjays to be able to reproduce with other bird species. Eventually, they did die off, but not before passing on their genetic code by mating with female mockingbirds. ![]() After the lies were discovered, the Capitol shut down the operation and the jabberjays were released into the wild, in the hope that they would die off. However, once the rebels realized this, they simply fed endless lies to the birds, and sent them back loaded with false information. Initially created to eavesdrop on rebels during the Dark Days, jabberjays had the ability to memorize entire conversations and repeat them back to their Capitol handlers. ![]() The father of the species was the jabberjay, a breed of exclusively male birds that were created as muttations by the Capitol. Mockingjays were essentially created by accident.
