why did some birds evolve verbal mimicry abilities? how does this help them survive?

or could it be a vestigial remnant of an even more fantastic verbal ability that an unknown common ancestor had?

Bird calls mostly evolved for mating. Mimicry is either to impress mates, or to confuse competitors/predators. There was not some fantastical fallen bird civilization we've yet to uncover.

Yes, in fact Velociraptors had a very sophisticated language, as shown in the award-winning documentary Jurassic Park 3.
