What the hell kind of devil bird chirps at night?

"Failure to Launch" was recommended to me for one reason. Because the main character's room mate has a mockingbird outside her window that keeps her up all night.
And she tries to kill it... I can't kill mine. 1) I could never do that and 2) I live in a bird sanctuary.
I don't think I have a mockingbird, in fact I'm now on a mission to find out exactly what kind of bird it is exactly.
My bed is about 4 feet from a very large window... abnormally large on the second floor of my house. Right outside my window is nature's own apartment complex for bird's - a holy bush. Directly beside my window is the roof to our front porch. Birds like to perch there too.
I can not sleep past about 6:00, restfully. And this morning the bird was up extra early about 5.
So far a pillow over my head and a white noise maker at max volume to drown out this little bird has not worked.
Two possible solutions:
1) Get one of those owl statues that scares birds and place it on the porch roof.
2) Find a sleep machine with a "jungle" setting and your noisy bird will blend right in.
I'll have to try that. I have a "forest" setting, I'll see if that works.
Mine has a "songbirds" setting. But digital birds are more annoying than the real ones.
