Love is in the Air......Check Out Your Backyard

February is the month of love, and not just for those who celebrate with a Valentine’s Day card and a box of chocolates.  As spring approaches you may be observing some interesting behaviors exhibited by your backyard birds.

Love is in the Air

Birds have courtships?

Courtship behavior is primarily used to attract a receptive mate.  Birds will perform a variety of displays in order to demonstrate strength and health.

This allows for the potential mate to ensure that they are selecting the best of the best!  Once a potential mate has been established, these strange behaviors can also let suitors know that their mate is spoken for.

Birds in Love

Rituals?

Singing: This ritual is by far the most noticeable behavior exhibited by birds come spring.  

Love with birds

 

The variety of song shows a potential mate the degree of maturity and intelligence.

 

Males will often be seen singing to attract the attention of a female.

Pay close attention to the song. Do you notice a difference between the song heard in winter as opposed to that in spring? Compared with any other time of the year, songs heard during breeding season tend to differ in complexity and length.

Hi Kristin, yes, the love birds are at it already.  Darn woodpeckers already drumming at 6am to attract a mate.   Happy Valentines!

Hi Michael Dagner 

I can say I am so glad the woodpeckers have not taken up residence near my house. I did go to the mountains recently and took some pictures of woodpeckers and noticed there were holes in all the trees!

Hi David,

Yes the Wildlife Federation says the birds sing especially nice during mating season. I am hearing all kinds of whistling and singing now and it has been quiet for months. Happy Spring (almost)!

Thanks for posting this so many people do not listen to the different sounds that the birds make from season to season. One that is clearly different in the spring is the Cardinal it sings "pretty pretty pretty".
