Perhaps, not a single bird was praised so often in poems by poets, like a nightingale. This little gray creature is invisible in appearance, but everyone can hear it with its trills. Those who have never heard them, it is very interesting to know how the nightingales sing and when they do it. There is an opinion that these birds voice only at night, but this is not so. They sing in the afternoon, just behind the noise created by other birds, they are not audible, but in the evening, at night and early in the morning, when the streets are quiet and calm, their trills are carried throughout the district.
Many are interested when the nightingale begins to sing. If you read poems, you can conclude that he does it all year round, but this is not true, because it is a migratory bird. In our region, birds come in the second half of April or early May, when the sun is already warming up the earth well, on the street there will be stable warm days. Nest these birds 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 other, need to carefully select a place, because nests can easily destroy cats and dogs.
Many wonder why the nightingales sing, because in the animal world nothing is done just like that. It turns out that the voice is given only by males, the female silently sitting side by side. This is done to attract the other half and scare off other representatives of birds that dare to fly to someone else's territory. The way nightingales sing, it is impossible to portray or convey in words, their song is unique. Here you can hear clicking, whistling, rumbling sounds. The song is rather complicated, it has up to 24 knees.
By the way nightingales sing, you can determine their age. The young individuals of trills are not so beautiful and lush as the older ones. Young males usually undergo training from experienced and wise birds, gradually improve their skills. To hear, as nightingales sing, it is possible only from the beginning of May to the middle of June. It is during this period that they are engaged in choosing a place for nesting, attracting a female, hatching eggs. When the chicks appear, the nightingales are silent, because, on the one hand, there are new worries, and there is no time for songs, and on the other - they do not want to attract excessive attention from the predators.
After choosing a place for nesting, the male sits on the branches and sings, calling the females. The birds arrive, and if everything suits them, then they stay, create a couple and start building a nest. If a male can not find a female for a long time, this is a sure sign that it is necessary to change the place.
Although it is generally believed that nightingales live in picturesque places, in gardens or not far from the river, but today one can hear their singing even in the metropolis. Birds nest in the sleeping areas of cities, in cottages. Of course, people are not always happy with this neighborhood, for nightingales sing mostly at night or early in the morning and very loudly, which prevents sleep. But listening to incredibly beautiful glowing trills, you can relax and feel the unity with nature. Each bird is unique in its own way, and the peculiarity of the nightingale lies in its beautiful voice, which you want to listen and listen to.
