A really talented mockingbird?
We have one in our neighborhood that does a terrific cordless phone
ring, and a pretty decent car alarm.

Or a Grackle? damned things can mimic sound of tree falling.
Will get your attention. They typically roost at night, however.

A Grackle? I've never heard one mimic anything, other than perhaps
a Siamese cat in heat. Mocking birds, sure. I once thought the
neighbor's parrot got out, so went looking for it; a Mocking bird
was singing to the parrot from a tree in our front yard. We had
another that was mocking the beeps from my PC. ...stupid thing.
