Why do birds chirp?

   Birds use their songs as a means of communication. Each species has a distinct song. They use their songs to warn of danger, as an instinctual response to some stimuli, say the sunlight after a dark night. Sometimes birds chirp to attract mates. Most birds chirp early in the morning because they're most active at that time.
   
   Daylight works to birds' advantage: They can see worms, seeds - and crickets, which make a tasty meal to a bird. But some birds chirp at night too. It is difficult to find out the exact reasons.
   
   A bird learns its species songs at a young age. It uses this knowledge to select mates when it is ready to breed. If all the birds had the same song, they would not be able to find suitable mates.
