A rapid, twittering song: a long stream of 'vit-vit-vit' and rolling chirps. Also gives a sharp 'vit' flight call. Song can last many minutes without pause. Musical and liquid.
Common Nightingale
Considered Europe's finest songster: an extraordinarily rich, loud, flute-like melody of bubbling trills, slow whistles, and a distinctive crescendo 'lu-lu-lu'. Sings day and night.

About These Birds
Barn Swallow
제비는 세계에서 가장 넓게 분포하는 제비류이며, 어떤 참새목 조류보다 가장 긴 이동을 합니다. 북반구 전역에서 봄의 도래를 알리며, 고대 그리스에서 현대 시에 이르기까지 문화적 참고가 되고 있습니다. 제비는 둥지를 위해 인공 구조물에 거의 완전히 의존하게 되었습니다.
Common Nightingale
나이팅게일은 조류 중 최고의 가수 중 하나로 칭송받으며, 수십 가지의 풍부하고 복잡한 음표로 이루어진 노래로 유명하다. 수컷은 낮과 밤을 가리지 않고 노래하며 특히 봄 번식기에 활발하다.
