You can hear them singing, whistling and chirping from morning to night: But which garden bird is it?

A new hotline can provide information.

Munich/Berlin – A jay can easily be distinguished from a sparrow, a blackbird or a pigeon by its appearance.

However, deducing the birdie from the bird's call alone is much more challenging.

A new hotline is just right, like 24garten.

Birdsongs: Which bird is singing in your garden?

Jays are among the most common bird species in Germany.

Especially at the beginning of spring, songbirds fill the air in forests, parks, but also in urban residential areas.

According to the German Nature Conservation Union ("NABU"), you can hear a particularly large number of species at the same time, especially from the end of April to the beginning of June.

According to NABU, only the males usually sing to defend their territories and attract females.

The following bird calls can be easily assigned based on a few characteristics:

  • According to the "NABU" you should start with simpler bird calls, which include the cuckoo or the chaffinch.

    The latter features a blaring vocal that ends with a short, deep flourish.

    The verse for the chaffinch is: "Am, am, am I not a handsome bridegroom?"

  • If the sound resembles that of a bicycle pump, it is probably a great tit singing.

  • The call of the conspicuous green woodpecker almost sounds like a laughing human being.

  • The wood pigeon has a typical pigeon coo: "DU-Kuh-dudu-Kuh", with the stress on the first syllable.

A melodious, sonorous chirp usually comes from a blackbird.

Since blackbirds are not migratory birds, they can be observed in this country all year round.

Bird calls: New hotline can clarify

With the "Vogelphilipp", a great campaign by the Bund Naturschutz in Bayern eV is running from April 1st to 30th, 2022, in which everyone can take part free of charge.

All you need is a smartphone and WhatsApp.

That's how it's done:

  • Add Vogelphilipp's phone number to your contacts: 0160-4424450

  • Record the bird song directly with WhatsApp and send it to Vogelphilipp

  • The bird philip responds and tells you which bird you hear singing.

The "Vogelphiliip" is Philipp Herrmann, a freelance biologist, ornithologist, species expert and behavioral scientist.
