Every March, millions discover that spring is within reach thanks to the effortless tweetings and chirpings of birds within our vicinity. This is known as the "dawn chorus," which Woodland Trust reported usually commences just before sunrise and is all about "defending territory and raising chicks."

Most of the singing one hears in the morning is typically performed by male birds, as they attempt to demonstrate to potential mates that they are "fit, healthy and hold a territory with plenty of food."

Additionally, these male creatures can also produce long songs to block off any foes looking to move in on their spot or steal their potential partner — wow, talk about toxic masculinity!

Regarding the reason for singing so early, Woodland Trust added that since it's too dark to hunt food and (thankfully) be visible to predators, it makes for the perfect time to belt out a song or two. The outlet noted, "As there is less background noise and the air is so still, sound carries around 20 times further than it would later in the day."
