Well, it's time to meet these birds. Very soon, in a few days they should arrive. The males will arrive first. They will look for a territory for nesting and defend it. And they protect it with the help of songs, signaling to the rest that this territory is already occupied by them. By the way, males are able to attack any bird who is on its territory. I have seen such situations many times.
Then the females arrive and the mating season begins.
And with the onset of summer, the beautiful songs of these birds fall silent. Birds no longer need to sing songs, they are busy feeding offspring.
