Hi there! Have you ever wondered how garden birds sing such pretty songs? Let's find out!
Birds sing to talk to each other. They use their voices to say things like, "Hello!" or "This is my home!"
Birds have a special part inside their throat called a syrinx. This is like their own musical instrument. When birds breathe out air through their syrinx, it makes sounds.
Different birds can make lots of different sounds by changing how they move their syrinx, just like how you can sing high or low notes with your voice.
Also, birds learn songs from other birds when they are little, kind of like how you learn songs at school!
So, when you hear birds singing beautifully in the garden, remember, they are using their special voice box to make music and talk to their bird friends.
