Bird vocalization
Sounds birds use to communicate / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Bird song" redirects here. For other uses, see Birdsong (disambiguation) and Bird (disambiguation) § Songs.
Bird vocalization includes both bird calls and bird songs. In non-technical use, bird songs are the bird sounds that are melodious to the human ear. In ornithology and birding, songs (relatively complex vocalizations) are distinguished by function from calls (relatively simple vocalizations).
