birds chirping

Dawn chorus sound

Birds chirping is the light, repetitive singing sounds that small birds make, especially in early morning.

The phrase evokes peaceful outdoor settings and the arrival of dawn: I woke to birds chirping outside my window.

It often suggests pleasant ambient noise or the onset of spring.
