No. Very few female birds of any species sing, although they do call. Song is almost always a territorial advertisement and it is the males that set-up breeding territories. Male nightingales reach the breeding areas before the hens, in spring. They sing to attract a female when they arrive a week or two later. When the hen has nested and hatched chicks, the males stop singing.
Male birds always sing, except in a few Songbirds like waxwings that have no actual song but only a small voice.
Female birds in the Enriched World typically do not sing because of the danger it poses to their safety from large mammalian predators in regions where sound attentuates very slowly.
In the tropics, Australia and Southern Africa female birds typically do sing because the density of mammalian predators is lower and the much reduced seasonality of climate means there is not necessarily a regular breeding season; rather birds may breed throughout a very good year and not at all in bad ones. Females in Australia and Southern Africa may use song to defend territories and duetting to synchronise sexual development.
No, most birds have the ability to ability to "sing" (to us) or "communicate" (to them). The male birds are the most vocal about their singing usually as a defense mechanism. The male sings to draw attention to himself (a decoy), while the female bird is completing duties like finding food or nest making.
Many birds use song as a regular method of communication, or specific sounds to attract to mate.
Female birds - almost exclusively in the tropics or the unglaciated, ancient, generally arid subtropical regions of Australia and Southern Africa - typically sing to defend territories or to coordinate breeding.
Unlike in the extratropical northern and western hemispheres with their very regular breeding cycles from the annual march of day length, these regions have frequently erratic rainfall and minimal seasonality of primary productivity. Consequently, birds reproduce very slowly and maintain pairs for very long periods through cooperative vocal communication.
In the extratropical northern and western hemispheres with their huge annual food flush following a non-repductive winter, such a strategy is totally maladaptive and weeded out by very rapid and intensive interspecific competition for the extremely dense food resources on rich, young soils, which results in extremely high natural extinction rates.
Many birds sing, particularly in Spring to attract a mate.
Caging birds is not enough to suppress this natural instinct.
because they have nothing better to do! They are just waking up and they are stretching their vocal cords, so to speak
