The song bird makes beautiful melodies that are pleasing to people all over the world.
The song bird
The world is home to about 4,000 different song birds. The song bird is uniquely designed to create several notes at a time. This is possible because the song bird's vocal organ is more complex and developed than other birds that can only sing one or sometimes two notes at a time.
The song bird started its singing career in what is now Australia and then gradually made its way around the world, stopping at points all over the globe to make new nesting areas. Like all other birds, the song bird uses its vocal abilities to communicate. A bird song is actually the song bird's way of telling other birds to keep their wings off its territory. The song bird doesn't sing all the time, it also makes warning calls and other calls that also help the bird communicate, but don't necessarily sound like a beautiful tune.
One other thing about the song bird. The song bird doesn't always make noises that are pleasant to hear. Some song birds make noises that sound more like cackles or nags and are incredibly grating on the nerves.
Getting song birds to your back yard
One of the greatest ways to ensure you get your ear drums tickled by a song bird is by inviting it to your backyard. Birds that stick around during winter months especially appreciate backyards that have food, shelter and water. Because so many birds are getting pushed out of their habitat, inviting the song bird to your backyard might actually help perpetuate the species.
One sure fire way to get a song bird into your backyard is by putting up a bird feeder and stuffing it with seed and suet that is appetizing to the bird. But, before you go out and buy some fancy bird feeder that's supposed to attract all kinds of birds, take a gander at a your backyard. Do you have a lot of trees? How do your shrubs look? Could a bird easily take cover in your yard?
The song bird likes to eat seeds and berries that are found on trees. A backyard that is well shaded and has a variety of fruit or seed bearing bushes will attract the song bird with little help from you. Placing a water source in your backyard will also attract the song bird. A water source can be as simple as an upside down trash can lid filled with water or a flowing fountain. Whatever you use, make sure the water source is clean because the song bird doesn’t like filthy water.
