Why Do You Think the Birds Sing?

When I go out in the morning for my walk I can hear many kinds of birds singing. Each one sounds different from the other.Though I love listening to those sweet voices I am sure they don't sing for me. Sure, they are singing praises to their creator. But even that is a way a religious person might describe the singing of the birds. Are their any scientific reasons for which they must sing? For example, to call their peers, to invite a mate or express whatever thoughts they have in their mind.

Some of ours sing to let other birds know that a certain area 'belongs' to them so they are establishing their territory.

We think that they sing, in reality this is their way to communicate of the other birds of their same species.

They sang because God made them to do it.

Birds sing to call out to call peers and to express thoughts. But if you listen to the same bird over and over it will sing in different tones, deeper tone (To call to mate), a sharper or higher tone (to give warning to something that may happen).

I think they speak their own language. Although we can't understand it, its own kind can certainly understand it.

I never hear them throughout the night until about an hour before sunrise. Then they start singing/waking up. I think it is only in their nature to do so. Either that or they do it just to annoy me. (Sometimes their good morning songs are loud enough to wake me up at 4:30 in the morning.
