The bird called the Songbird is a common visitor to almost any yard. Although the song of this bird is unique, the type of song that is being produced is quite common in many types of songbirds. Songbirds have different names depending on what part of the world they come from. There are two kinds of songbirds; the Black-necked Stilt Songbird and the Red-headed Yellowthroat Songbird.
Songbirds have the same vocal organs as most other perching birds, although not all use it for melodious effect. Songbirds that belong to the Black-necked Stilt species sing a long and sweet song, and it is a very soothing tune to listen to. The male songbird sings a different type of song that is called a mating song. Mating song is produced to attract females, and is very audible to other males. The song of the Red-headed Yellowthroat is also a calming and soothing song. They differ from each other mainly because of the complex syrinx they have.
You may have noticed that your bird is singing a very different song at different times. This is called polyphonic singing. It can be extremely difficult to figure out exactly what is being said because the bird uses a series of different notes. If you are watching your bird closely, it is possible to learn when the song changes. The first step is to be sure that you are observing the songbird in the correct environment. Next you should use a tape recorder and record the bird's songs. By recording the birds' songs you will be able to hear exactly what they are saying.
