Think those \u201cGood morning!\u201d texts are working on your crush? Think again! You\u2019ve gotta bring the music!\u00a0 Give a little yoddle! Loons like me know the power of a well-tuned serenade. We practice nonstop to keep our voices in top shape. And that goes for all sorts of male birds.\u00a0 Scientists have found that songbirds have to put plenty of vocal exercise in to keep their vocal muscles strong. If songbirds<\/a> stop singing for a week, their vocal muscles will lose 50 per cent of their strength. We can\u2019t have that! Especially when females can tell the difference and prefer a well-trained singer! So warm up those pipes and sing like you mean it.<\/span><\/p>\n

I hate to tell you but if your pad\u2019s a disaster, you\u2019ll be living alone for a while. Before mating season, I scout out the nicest burrow I can find. It\u2019s not that hard since they\u2019re usually burrows that have been abandoned by Prairie Dogs<\/a>, Ground Squirrels or Badgers. Once I\u2019ve found the perfect home, I decorate it when pebbles, bones or even bright ribbons. Trust me, it makes a killer first impression! <\/span><\/p>\n

Only the finest cuisine for my girl!\u00a0 It proves that I know what she likes and I can deliver the goods for her and any of our future chicks<\/a>. So go ahead and surprise her with her favourite treats!<\/span><\/p>\n

Forget chocolates or roses. I go for the good stuff \u2013 a fresh skewer of prey. I impale<\/a> all sorts of tasty treats from mice to insects on sharp twigs. It\u2019s all about showing off my skills and my stash. Because I\u2019ve got competition to contend with. Whoever presents the biggest loot wins the girl.
