It's the call of the wild. A bird expert in Australia says his country's so-called "mimic birds" are now parroting the sounds of cell phone rings. Mostly the males do it; they're showing off to potential mates and telling other birds "this is my territory." Apparently they're also saying, "Hey babe, Nokia makes it ring, but I make it sing."
