Hi,
I thougth that I read in the book Star Signs from Linda a passage where she gave a reason why birds begin to sing when the first light begins to chase the night away.I know I really liked the idea, but what was it? I can't find it in the book anymore.Does anyone know this passage?

I don't recall the passage in the book...I'll have to take a peek...but perhaps it is joy at the new day! I love to wake and hear them singing...of course my cats love to hear them for different reasons!!

I`m not sure about the singing at dawn, but it is believed the birds singing in spring stimulates the trees to bud. And k-now what? I believe it

Let us know if you did

They sing because they're in love with each other.

Moonsearcher, I think this may be what you are looking for.

Chapter 7--Forgotten Melodies, page 265

quote:
More evidence of the power of sound is birdsong. Assuming you don't live full time in the city, have you noticed the chorus of birdsong, like a thousand elfin choirs, all day long in the spring?

Have you also noticed that the birdsong ceases during the summer months, except at dawn and twilight ? When you're having a picnic in the woods or your back yard on a summer afternoon you'll hear only an occasional, faint chirp from the top of the tallest trees. Have you ever wondered why?
There's a magical reason for this little-known phenomenon of Nature. The singing of the birds sets up a particular sound vibration that promotes the growth of the young leaves of trees, plants and flowers, so the birdsong is fairly constant all day long in the spring, while the new growth is occurring.

In summer, the birdsong ceases, except at dawn and twilight -- and sometimes, if not quite all of the leaves are full, also during the early morning hours of summer. After the leaves are full the chemical activities of the trees, grass, plants and flowers change every day in the summer -- at dawn and at twilight. At night, all plant life breathes in carbon dioxide. At dawn and early morning, in the summer, they breathe out pure oxygen. The times of the changeover are heralded by the birds; are actually stimulated by the birdsong, but the sterile rules of biology recognize only the synchronicity of it, typically ignoring the clear evidence of cause and effect, unable to explain any other reason for Nature's precise timing of the seasonal and daily fluctuations of birdsong. In winter months, of course, St. Francis' beloved feathered friends fly south, to where other green miracles need the growth signals of the sound of their singing.

Isn't it lovely to know that the birds tell the grass, plants, trees and flowers when to grow, by setting up the sounds necessary to their chemical activity by singing -- all day long in the spring, and at dawn and twilight in the summer ? How can anyone think that birds lead useless, lazy lives? There's a reason for their singing ! I'm sure that Francesco Bernadone knew all about this truth of Nature.

How superbly logical, then, for the word NATURE to contain the word TUNE, since NATURE herself creates the miracle of the song or the TUNE of the birds causing the growth of Her green trees, grass, plants and colorful flowers. I couldn't suppress this mini-Lexigram until the next chapter; it's important that you meditate on it now. Nature does, indeed, consist of many chords of music, many sounds, including the "tunes" sung by the birds. Think about this wonderfur (full of wonder) proof of the way sound impresses itself on the ethers to manifest the physical "mattering" of the "matter" of all growing things. The birdsong is necessary to Nature outdoors because various unseasonal and unexpected climatic conditions would otherwise frequently halt growth -- and greenhouse plants, artificially grown, would thrive more luxuriantly if recorded birdsong were played to them.

Why aren't children taught this natural magic in school?

Thank you Donna! That was the passage I was trying to find. Isn't it a wonderful idea. Now I know why I love to hear the song of the birds again! In a way they make sure I have enough oxigen.
One thought: It's sad for the birds who stay in the winter at home when they can't fulfill their purposes for nature!

Hi, Donna, long time no see

I also believe that birds' singing stimulates nature to grow since all things are connected

I used to be mad at the birds waking me up. Then I found a baby finch on my doorstep and rescued it from a lurking cat and tried to raise it. I named it Baby. I fed baby constantly and changed out the towel in Baby's Payless shoebox home frequently (Baby slept standing up and pooped all the time). Baby only lived a short while, let out one loud goodbye chirp and died. I guess Baby had a weak heart, so the mother bird kicked Baby out of the nest. Nature can be so cruel. It has been said by legend that animals have one Oversoul per species, but being loved by a human grants that animal an individual Soul. I don't know if it's true or not, but at least I gave Baby a little more time on Earth. Yes, I longed for the day that Baby would be set free and fly away, but that day never came. I cried for days. I loved that bird. I had a funeral and wrote a poem. And every morning, I would hear Baby's brothers and sisters singing at dawn, and I wasn't mad to be awakened.

Baby Bird

Oh, little One
A fragile spark of Life
Never to be engulfed in flame
Perched on a Payless shoe box
Missing your mother
No substitute am I

...but I Loved you

Abandoned and lost
Fed foreign food
And kept isolated
For your own safety
Just for a little while
Until you are strong enough to leave
And I, tortured by your loneliness
Waiting for the day
You can fly away

...because I Love you

Alas, your wings will never soar
On Earthly winds
Nor will you perch on power lines
Like your brothers and sisters
Or taste the misty rain upon your face
For death stole you away
When I wasn't looking
And left me with the pain
That never heals
But this day
And every day
You'll soar on wings among the Angels
And fly toward a Sun that never fades

...and I will always, always Love you

I think it's in star signs, I can't remember what page, but it's whispered that birds sing to keep trees and flowers growing and that's why flowers and trees growing. Now, I won't be mad at birds that sing in the night or fight over a power pole mistakening it for a tree or flower.
