bird song
Treetop morning serenade
Bird song is the musical vocalizations birds produce, typically by males during breeding season to attract mates or defend territory.
Distinguished from simpler bird calls, songs are often complex, melodic, and species-specific.
The term extends to musical compositions imitating these sounds: The flute passage evoked bird song.
