No. Very few female birds of any species sing, although they do call. Song is almost always a territorial advertisement and it is the males that set-up breeding territories. Male nightingales reach the breeding areas before the hens, in spring. They sing to attract a female when they arrive a week or two later. When the hen has nested and hatched chicks, the males stop singing.
