If you wake up early enough, you’ll be likely to hear pleasant, loud sounds of birds． This early singing is known as the “dawn chorus”, and it can start as early as 4 a． m． and last for several hours． But why?

One idea about why birds choose the time to communicate is because the darkness makes them hard to see clearly． Therefore, they prefer to make sounds like singing instead．

Another idea is that the morning singing is like birds saying, “I stay alive after the night!” In nature, getting through the dark is not easy． Singing loudly shows they are healthy and strong—perfect for finding a partner．

Some people also believe that birds’ voices carry more clearly in the early morning hours thanks to the cooler and drier air． With different songs, birds can be more easily identified (认出) by others．

The last idea says that birds need to save energy． Singing when others can hear them best——like in the quiet morning—is smart． For them, dawn is the perfect time to show!

People have different ideas about why birds sing at dawn, but scientists still don’t know for sure． They keep studying birds and hope to find answers soon． No matter (不论) why birds sing at dawn, it’s their time to shine!

A． At noon．                                                           B． Early in the morning．

C． At midnight．                                                     D． Late in the afternoon．
