Brief Explanations

In "The Hunger Games" series, the Capitol created jabberjays (genetically engineered birds) to spy on rebels by recording their conversations. Jabberjays were male, so when released, they couldn't reproduce with their own kind. Instead, they mated with mockingbirds. The offspring, mockingjays, inherited the mockingbird's ability to mimic sounds and the jabberjay's capacity to repeat human speech. Mockingjays became a symbol of rebellion as they were an unintended creation of the Capitol's genetic engineering that outlived its original purpose.

Answer:

The mockingjay originated from a genetic cross between the Capitol - created jabberjays (male, designed to spy by recording conversations) and wild mockingbirds. Jabberjays couldn't reproduce among themselves, so they mated with mockingbirds, producing mockingjays that inherited the mockingbird's mimicry and the jabberjay's ability to repeat human speech, and became a rebel symbol as an unintended Capitol creation.
