To me, Birdsongs are very soothing! Something about them being awake and singing so early in the morning soothes my soul and sends me back to sleep! BTW, we have some very LOUD birds out here in San Francisco, but I can't identify any of them! However, I know there is a wild nest of Parrots making their way across our neighborhood! I don't know what they're doing over here, in Noe Valley when their home is in North Beach, in the Northern part of the city, but a flock has made their way over in the South part of town and they chatter away in the afternoons as they fly over our houses! They are bright green Parrots and they're so beautiful!

Interesting. I had always been told that it was for security. The birds called to each other to locate others of their species, just like horses nicker to each other and other animals "call". Sort of like saying, "Here I am. Where are you right now?" When they get calls back, they are reassured all is right with the world and that there were others of their species in the neighborhood. Whenever my parrot heard the birds, he immediately began calling to them. Of course, his call sounded like a screech rather than a song.

I have experienced this with multiple bird species calling to each other. Always there is one bird that calls out very early, almost still dark, then another bird calls back and then another bird calls and on and on. These birds are of different species by the sound of their calls. It's always like they are saying "I survived the night, who else survived the night". Different bird species can understand each other and care for each other. I also have a parrot, a rainbow lorikeet, and he talks to the outside birds and they talk back to him. I have also found that when a bird sings the sound is totally different than when a bird talks. The morning calls taper off after all the birds have had their say. One morning there was suddenly a deafening silence for about five minutes followed by many birds sounding very sad for a very long time; I suspect it was learned that a bird didn't survive the night.

Hi Lesley! Quite an interesting topic to ponder and the findings of the study cited does make sense to me. In contrast to the wee morning hours I had discovered that at a moment during late dusk or twilight the outdoors becomes deafening silent for almost a half an hour. I first became aware of this phenomenon when I used to live on a mountain top when I operated a forest fire lookout tower. Each evening around 8:30 to 8:45 (June-July-August) the woods would become absolutely silent. Sitting on my cabin porch listening to this transition was truly fascinating. Then about 9:15 to 9:30 the night creatures would come alive offering up a new and different chorus.

Bill, I can relate - I was once a radio-transmitter operator on a remote mountaintop. Not much to do except bask in the glow of the vacuum tubes. But I digress: researchers should record that silence and then use their fancy transistorized computers to do a spectral frequency harmonic analysis of it and find out what's making it. Just a quick thought.

This is a great, very interesting video. The researcher’s hypothesis makes sense, especially given the results of their study. I wonder, also, if singing early in the morning helps get their song heard by more females due to less noise competition from other bird species that may tend to rise later, and perhaps by other, less fit members of their own species (later risers). In addition, sound travels better in cold temperatures and calm conditions (I know you mentioned less windy conditions), and, as we know, it is almost always colder in the early morning before the sun rises than later in the day.

@@SW13333 I actually kinda enjoy it! LoL! Although, I had one mockingbird scare the bejesus outta me at 4am one morning while putting my dogs out, I heard one imitate an old school cellphone ring tone! I thought I had someone in my yard in the woods for a second, until I figured out what I was actually hearing! 😂

You bring such beauty and education and loveliness to KZfaq for everyone. You give such a wonderful gift to this World and the handwriting LesleytheBirdNerd is an extra touch of your elegance! The photography & names you give of birds for people who'd never get the chance otherwise to see these birds & learn about them are so very kind and generous and important for all. Thank you very much for all you do to educate us about birds, and yes I agree about the early warm-ups make sense.

You are so right Bobby! There is a reason why God put us in a garden and instructed us to care for that garden. The cities have lost God.

Do birds sing in 432? Everything on the planet works on frequency. Fibonacci is everywhere. God created everything. 1.618 the golden number.🌺 love your videos.and your voice. You are special the birds know it.

Hmmm, interesting thought for sure. I have been obsessed with the power of frequencies these days. Nikola Tesla seemed to have some knowledge about it.

LesleytheBirdNerd whales use frequency. Their kitchen is in the northern hemisphere and their nursery is in the Southern Hemisphere. Monarch butterflies must use frequency it takes 4 generations to make the full round trip from one mountain top in Mexico to Canada. The Monarch that is born in Canada flies all the way back to Mexico. Called the super Monarch. And it has never been to this one mountain top in Mexico.youtube Fibonacci. Petals on flowers are Fibonacci numbers. Pine cones. Pineapple all spirals. Your DNA is a spiral. It’s Gods fingerprint.thank you again for the wonderful videos. I saw my first pair of lesser gold finches on my feeder today. I almost cried. I love them so much and their song is beautiful.

I work overnights and am outside in the wee hours of the morning. This is a question I've had for some time and I'm so glad that you addressed it. The last theory makes so much sense and is the one I'm going with. I enjoy your channel so much. Now I'm headed to your other channel to see what you have going there.

Being a bird lover here in Australia, I liked the video as we visit Canada every few years. I've always loved the early bird calls, even if we probably have some of the loudest birds anywhere. We're so lucky with the sheer variety of bird species down here, especially the parrots. Our top morning call is the warbling magpie, with kookaburras & morning doves. Thankfully the screeching cockatoos don't start till sun up.

Lesley, I wanted to let you know I'm still here and tuned in. What a wonderful collection of videos you have produced of winged wildlife. Thanks. Truly enjoy learning about them Funny and crazy little BIRDS. I had wondered why they started singing so early NOW I know sweet. I'm still blown away by the story and the informational background about CROWS and BlueJays, their family habits. Love them all, but the smaller birds more, and not sure why. Please don't stop being a BIRD NERD. GOOD Work young Lady
