Commonly nicknamed “lovebirds” or “giant rats on wings,” Cupids are fairly considered to be annoying for their larger size and mimicry ability. They can usually be heard imitating city noises such as car horns and heavy machinery. Their intelligence unfortunately gave them a sense of humor, and there are numerous cases of a cupid pulling “pranks” on animals and people via mimicking certain sounds to frighten or confuse. Cupids are actually the best noise imitators in the class, competing against lyrebirds. Their ability to accurately mimic sounds from babies crying to cars beeping adds more to their public annoyance.
