One of the sweetest songs to greet the dawn, even in winter, belongs to one of the Kingdom’s smaller birds — the Carolina Wren. Listen for it in the trees long before the sun comes up.
Like all birds, they generally sing on the inhale, not the exhale, though they can do both. What’s more (need there be more?), songbirds make more complicated sounds than any other animal, including humans, often producing two distinct notes at once.
Politicians do something like that, but not to good effect.
