Perhaps no bird has been praised so often in poetry by poets as the nightingale. This little gray creature is inconspicuous in appearance, but everyone can hear its trills. For those who have never heard them, it is very interesting to know how the nightingales sing and when they do it. It is believed that these birds give voice only at night, but this is not so. They sing during the day, just behind the noise created by other birds, they are not heard, but in the evening, at night and early in the morning, when it is quiet and calm on the street, their trills are carried throughout the district.
Many wonder when the nightingale starts to sing. If you read poetry, you can conclude that he does it all year round, but such a statement is not true, because it is a migratory bird. Birds arrive in our region in the second half of April or early May, when the sun has already warmed the earth well, consistently warm days will set in the street. These birds nest mainly near water bodies, in dense thickets. Nests are built right on the ground, in bushes or on branches, but not high. They, like no one elseanother, you need to choose your place carefully, because cats and dogs can easily destroy nests.
Many wonder why nightingales sing, because in the animal world nothing is done just like that. It turns out that only males give voice, females silently sit nearby. This is done to attract the second half and scare away other representatives of birds who dare to fly into foreign territory. The way the nightingales sing is impossible to depict or convey in words, their song is unique. Here you can hear clicking, whistling, rumbling sounds. The song is quite complex, it contains up to 24 generations.
By the way the nightingales sing, you can determine their age. In young individuals, trills are not as beautiful and buoyant as in older ones. Young males are usually trained by experienced and wise birds, gradually improving their skills. You can hear how the nightingales sing only from the beginning of May to mid-June. It is during this period that they are engaged in choosing a place for nesting, attracting a female, and incubating eggs. When the chicks appear, the nightingales fall silent, because, on the one hand, new worries arise, and there is no time for songs, and on the other hand, they do not want to attract undue attention from predators.
Having chosen a place for nesting, the male sits on the branches and sings, calling for females. Birds arrive, and if everything suits them, then they stay, create a couple and start building a nest. If the male cannot find a female for a long time, this is a sure sign that you need to change.place.
Although it is generally accepted that nightingales settle in picturesque corners, in gardens or near the river, but today you can hear their singing even in the metropolis. Birds nest in the sleeping areas of cities, in summer cottages. Of course, people are not always happy with such a neighborhood, because nightingales sing mostly at night or early in the morning and very loudly, which makes it difficult to sleep. But listening to incredibly beautiful flooding trills, you can relax and feel unity with nature. Each bird is unique in its own way, and the originality of the nightingale lies in its beautiful voice, which you want to listen to and listen to.
