29、Birds can fill any spring or summer day with music: All you have to do is opening your window to hear crows “caw”, killdears call “ kill-deah! kill-deah!” and chickadees sing “ chickadee-dee-dee”.
But come back an hour later, and you'll still hear them singing the same song, repeatedly (重复地). That’s because they’re hard at work. These singers are usually male (男性的), and are singing their hearts out to guard their territory (领地) and attract (吸引) a mate (配偶).
On the territorial front, the singers say, “This is my area and I’m letting everyone else, especially every other male in the area, know that this is my space.”
Other animals mark their territory by leaving their smell everywhere. Even people mark areas with fences (栅栏). But birds don’t do it that way, they will sing . And they will sing that song over and over again.
And, hey, if that song attracts a mate in the process, more power to the male. There are nearly 10, 000 species (物种)of birds in the world, and every species is different, but oftentimes the female is the one that picks the mate.
The males’ songs basically express, “Hey, females! You’re passing by, listen to me because I've got a beautiful song I’m a healthy male! You should stop by and check me out!”
While the male is singing, he can’t look for food, and his calls make him more easily found by his killers. For females,it takes a lot of energy to lay eggs and raise young, so she wants to be sure she chooses the right mate before putting all her eggs in one basket, so to speak.
During the winter, birds often sing fewer notes, or just one note, to each other. These notes are simply a way to warn the strangers of their territory.
