Bird Behaviour Communication
All birds make sounds to communicate. The types of noises that they make are different. All birds have 'cries' which are the sounds to communicate. Some birds can also 'sing'. These birds are called 'songbirds'. Some songbirds are robins, larks, canaries, thrushes, nightingales and crows. Birds that are 'not' songbirds are pigeons, seagulls, eagles, owls and ducks. Parrots are not songbirds, even though they can be taught to sing human songs.
