The sweetest song I ever heard
Love's melody In your hearts own words
Sing to me My morning bird
When the sun Climbs over the mountain
Just to hear you sing your song
And all the stars Lay down in heaven
To take their rest Till evening comes
~Morning Bird- Forest Sun
When birds sing in the morning they are trying to attract a mate and proclaim their territory.
A Red-eyed Vireo sings more than 20,000 songs a day.

Some birds have large repertoires--the Brown Thrasher can sing as many as 2,000 distinct songs. Other species, such as the Henslow’s Sparrow, seem to have only one song.
In North America, we hear mostly males singing, because they typically take the lead in defending territories and attracting mates. However, especially in the tropics, some species sing duets involving both the male and female.
Listen to this song (above) by Forest Sun. It is a duet. Perhaps this is the reason, I like my cellphone to ring in the morning or to receive a "humming" text in the early morning from people I love. All that buzzing reminds me of the songs of love from the morning bird .
