Came for the birds, stayed for the birds.

As a fellow northerner, I am so delighted to hear birdsong in the morning and I don't care what time they start.

I am an “early bird” . I just love having birds wake me up with their songs. Makes me happy.

I remember David Attenborough saying this. He also mentioned since insects aren't as active in the morning the birds could also be singing simply because "there's nothing better to do."

[terrinewton]

I love the sounds of the birds every morning and I can sleep through the songs, thankfully birds in my area don’t begin singing until just as the sun starts to come up.

It might sound funny but I have always wondered about why BIRDS sing/wake up so early. Thanks for the video.

I always loved this line, and Leslie's channel always helps me get a good dose of birds ^_^

Fortunately, well unfortunately sometimes, I am an early riser. So the birds don’t keep me up. I’m already up. I do love listening to them.

I live in western Oregon, and each spring, I hear violet green tree swallows singing as early as 4 AM. I love it!

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 made it through the the black!
Look at me, I'm still here! I made it through"

I never really thought about why they sang so early in the mornings. I just thought it was a natural thing for them to do. I've always enjoyed the sounds of birds singing. It never bothered me. It was always so soothing and peaceful.
My favorite melody of all is the song of the Hermit Thrush. I could listen to it all day!
This was a really great video. Thanks! 😊

As a young boy delivering newspapers at 4:30 to 5:30am, it was always cardinals. So loud, so early my son has complained of their racket. The first and last to my feeders...my cardinals. This year 2 regular males have gone through the molting process, and still look pretty sad.

Man the American Robin song just bring me instantly back to my child hood.

Thank you for the information on early singing. My mother was a meadow lark and the rest of the family was night Owl's. She was the one chirping in the morning! We threw pillows at her!

""Can you imagine that I once complained about birds!? I cant."" 😆

I practice piano every Sunday around 3... the birds the piano. Can hear it when they whistle.. They sound very happy. It feels like I get to talk to the birds 🙂

[jipjojed]

Fascinating. I think this is why too...I love hearing them early as well as all day long!

[lynnstillwell]

I've never minded the "early birds". I love the science ... thanks for sharing!

My theory is that a couple of birds wake up and start chatting to each other, and then the other birds get annoyed and start saying SHUT UP
