Nightingale 

Nightingale, the night songstress, is globally adored for its melodious and magical voice. It looks awfully cute and is often regarded as a romantic bird. For its beautiful voice, creativity and spontaneous singing, it has always been a source of inspiration for different poets and musicians. Eminent poets like John Keats and Shelley have often glorified these birds in their poetry. Nightingale is a morning bird but can be heard singing at dawn. In evening, these songstresses sing even louder to make up for the background noises produced in the wake of various activities. When threatened, it produces a frog-like croak. The best time to listen them, conveniently, is at night!
Like many other birds, nightingales are omnivores by nature and feed on fruits, seeds and nuts. When the food is scarce, they will eat insects too. Their small size often puts them in immense trouble, making them an easy catching for rats, foxes, cats and snakes. Large birds of prey often hunt Nightingales. Advertisement
