The male plumage is all black with a narrow yellow eyering and yellow bill. This original, copyright, full-length recording (by Jean-Claude Roché, France) reflects a sequence of different bird "calls and singings". KooKoo clocks contain an up to 50 seconds extract from these recordings.Ĭharacteristics: 25.5 cm long and weighs approx. Birds in the city also sing more often at night because it is quieter and there are more artificial lights than in the country.

The birds have to sing louder to be heard. This is because there is more noise in the city. In the city, birds sing louder and higher than their counterparts in the country. On the other hand, birds that do not sing such complicated songs as adult animals can warble from birth. To refine them, they also imitate their peers. Other birds like the chaffinch can already have a basic structure of singing when they are born. Just as we humans learn to speak, they learn to sing: by imitating their parents. Not all birds can sing so beautifully from birth: great singers like nightingale or marsh reed singers have to practice a lot. Instead of singing, he impresses the females with his colorful wheel. This is the case with the peacock, for example. For other types, it is not the vocals that determine the choice of partner, but the appearance. That is why birds like the nightingale are particularly hard at work.

There is a competition for some bird species: the bird male that sings most beautifully has the best chance of the female. It can play 400 different melodies and sings even in the deep of the night. The master singer among the birds is the nightingale. The blackbird is a hard-working singer: it begins before sunrise and does not stop until after sunset. The blackbird, on the other hand, sings particularly beautifully and melodically. The woodpecker, for example, only drums on one branch - this is also considered music. Singing is also scientific, even if it doesn't sound nice. It depends on the type of bird how many different songs an animal can sing. Most of the birds can be heard in May, because then many migratory birds are back with us. The main time of these chants is from March to early June. They attract females and mark out their territory. During the breeding season in spring, birdsong can be heard. The birds talk about these calls (contact calls) or warn each other of dangers (warning calls). One calls the chirping that one hears all year round, these tones sound very simple. There are two different types of birdsong: calls and singing. KooKoo Birds - Listen to the Sounds of Nature's Symphony
