bird songs
Trills from trees
Bird songs are the melodic vocalizations birds produce, typically for mating or territorial purposes.
Distinguished from simpler bird calls, songs are more complex and musical, often learned rather than innate.
The term extends to musical compositions imitating these sounds or celebrating birds: She woke to bird song outside her window.
Also spelled as one word: birdsong.
