Mockingbirds

The Northern Mockingbird (Mimus Polyglottos) can be found in most of the continental United States from southern Oregon through northern Utah to Newfoundland and south to Mexico. It lives in open country with thickets, farmland and desert brush. The northern mockingbird eats ants, beetles, grasshoppers, seeds and berries.

Most likely, Maycomb is a rural county, with many thickets, farmland and desert brush. Maycomb would also have many insects and berry trees.

The Northern Mockingbird lives in Maycomb most likely is because Maycomb provides a natural habitat for them, with thickets, brushes and farmland. Maycomb also has their choice of food, which is insects and berries, which will attract the mockingbirds to come and live in Maycomb.
