bird chorus

Morning avian ensemble

The bird chorus is the collective singing of birds, especially the dawn chorus when many species vocalize together at first light.

The phenomenon peaks during breeding season as males establish territory and attract mates.

I woke before my alarm to the bird chorus outside my window.
