Nightingale – the masterly singer who in the nature does not have equal. At the most "talented" nightingales in tunes it is possible to hear up to 40 knees. The knee is the repeating sound combination made by a bird and, the more knees in the song, the she is more verbose and it is more pleasant for perception and the above the nightingale is appreciated. It is possible to listen to modulating motives of this singing birdie only in the early spring. Also it is connected only with behavioural features of nightingales.
Luscinia luscinia - a little bird of a gray-brown color with a reddish tail. Its size is slightly larger than a sparrow. The nightingale nests in countries of Eastern Europe (except the North), in the center and in the south of Western Siberia. On a wintering departs to the southern half of East Africa (its tropical part). Nightingales return home in the spring, at the beginning of May. On an arrival occupy dense shrubby young growths at once, twist nests. And only 4-5 days later after "housewarming" when the first young growth on trees makes the way, the nightingales begin to be filled in with the magnificent trills.
Only males sing. Also they sing to win a female. The song is a sign of courting for the girlfriend who silently sits at this time near the singer and listens carefully. And the more masterly the nightingale will invite a female, the more probable them the union. The nightingale sings, having taken seat on a branch is low from the earth. During zazyvny "concert" he forgets about danger and shows the ability so selflessly that it is possible to approach a bird closely and even to touch.
At the same time, disproving the legends which are thought up by poets about what nightingales sing only at night the singing birdie executes trills and in the afternoon, just in the afternoon she is a little muffled by sounds of other birds. Having won a female, the nightingale continues the concerts until until his girlfriend sits out baby birds. It lasts slightly more than 2 weeks. The singing the father of family kind of encourages a female in her hard business and also notifies her that around everything is quiet. The nightingale as soon as baby birds are born stops not to draw attention to the nest of animals and birds. Now he on the lookout will also give only the short cries warning a female about danger. Singing of nightingales can be heard only in the spring as all remained time of rather short summer to nightingales will already have no time for courtings and performance of songs. They need already to bring up, bring up, teach to fly the posterity. In the fall already with the grown-up baby birds the nightingales should migrate to the warm countries again.
