Why?
[edit]I was hoping to find out why birds sing at dawn. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.0.115.164 (talk) 17:48, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- I'm still hoping - made the above comment months ago. Why do birds bother? I heard on BBC Radio 4 once that the amount of energy used in singing is proportional to the spare energy the birds have in the morning - so a comparatively mild night would lead to more singing, a cold night less. Do bird brains really sing because they are happy to have survived the night - I dount very much they are capable of emotions like that. I suppose a human analogy would be drivers honking their horns when the dawn comes - why would they want to do that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.3.46.91 (talk) 22:59, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
- A little Googling produces this link http://www.bl.uk/collections/sound-archive/listentonature/specialinterestlang/langofbirds3.html with another theory of the reason for the dawn chorus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.3.46.91 (talk) 23:04, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Move article?
[edit]I have just added three examples of non-avian animals that produce a dawn chorus. There is insufficient detail on these for a stand-alone article so I have added them here. Should this article now be moved to Dawn chorus (animals)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrChrissy (talk • contribs) 12:34, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
More info please, about the Dawn Chorus itself
[edit]- It is insufficient to claim that the D.C can also be heard in the U.S.A. when it is a known fact in many if not most areas of the world
- This article should include more descriptive/encyclopedic information about the Dawn Chorus before going in to lical detail
Who can improve this ?
(I might be able to add information, but I have no access to comprehensive references to justify any changes)
