nightingales
Famous melodious birds
Nightingales is the plural of nightingale, a small brown European songbird famous for the male's rich, complex song, often heard at night.
The bird's nocturnal singing made it a symbol of poetic inspiration and romantic longing: The nightingales sang in the garden.
Florence Nightingale, the pioneering nurse, took her surname from the bird.
