My Research on the Mockingbirds.

According to my research on mockingbirds, they lived mostly at residential areas, city parks, farmlands, open country with thickets, and desert brush. They build their nests in dense shrubs and low trees. It is very similar to the setting of TKAM. The Cunninghams farmed to survive. Therefore, the environment in Maycomb, Alabama should be farmlands and open countries with thickets. Similarly, in the movie TKAM, we can see that there are low trees and shrubs could be seen near Atticus' house and where Dill appeared through the gate.

The Mockingbird is also the state bird of Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas. As Mississippi is one of the state that was located near Alabama, Mockingbirds should be found in Maycomb.

Plant berry bushes such as holly, mulberries, raspberries, Virginia creeper, blackberries, dogwood, elderberries, hackberry, brambles, pyracantha, cotoneaster, grapes or figs would also be found in Maycomb as they were part of the diet of Mockingbirds and they were able to survive in Maycomb since they were shrubs.
