What birds sing

Bird's singing is among the sounds, the most pleasant for the person. Strange and uncomfortably our planet would look if suddenly all these trills, whistle, chatter stopped suddenly. And what birds are considered as good singers among a great variety of birds?

Beautiful singing of birds gives to the person the true esthetic pleasure. Not the accidentally good singer can validly be called still the Kursk nightingale. Practically all birds can make sounds. It happens because of vibration of the membranes located on a joint of a trachea and bronchial tubes. However not always such sounds turn out beautiful and melodious. For example, hoarse croak of a crow will hardly be pleasant to any person. And shrill, unpleasant shouts of peacocks represent just striking contrast in comparison with their remarkable appearance. Just as in the animated film about the baron Myunkhgauzen who decided to get this "a wonderful bird who, judging by plumage, has to sing perfectly". Therefore the birds capable to make the melodious sounds pleasant to a human ear and are called "choristers". Most of all songbirds in Vorobyinoobraznye group. It is numerous group, the numbering about 5400 types. The birds entering it differ in the small and medium sizes, and are subdivided into two big groups: insectivorous and granivorous. The siskin, a goldfinch, a canary, a crossbill treat granivorous songbirds, for example. Their singing is not so various, as at insectivorous. It is sharper, even is rough. Such birds, as a rule, easily get used to bondage and quickly begin to eat food there. Insectivorous songbirds – a nightingale, a starling, a robin, a warbler, a varakushka, a thrush, a millerbird, an oriole and others. Their singing much more various and melodious. They get used to bondage more difficultly and not at once begin to eat ready-made feeds. Among these birds there are excellent imitators. First of all, it concerns starlings who are capable to reproduce with exclusively high precision sounds of other birds, even such large as a crane, for example. Budgerigars (especially males) formally do not treat songbirds, but too often and very not bad sing. As a rule, it demonstrates to good mood of a bird or that she wants to communicate to the owner. In wildlife of a bird most actively sing during nesting and incubation of eggs. When baby birds hatch, singing becomes much more rare and after baby birds leave a parental nest, it in many cases in general stops. The truth some settled birds sing all the year round. In some cases the bird (for example, a red slavka) can reproduce two melodies at the same time.
