We have a LOT of birds outside our bedroom windows. Due to not having an AC, our windows are open. These birds start chirping about midnight & do not stop til morning.
This is NOT occasional. It is EVERY night.
I don't get it. Can anyone explain?

Birds call to defend their territory and declare it 'theirs'. There are some birds that come out at night and call, although, if there are lights around that are on during the night (and also during times of sufficient moon brightness) mocking birds can be active at night. They're especially prone to staying up and calling all night where there is artificial light (such as parking lots) that provide sufficient illumination throughout the night. The deal is, if they aren't calling, then they may lose their turf or have to fight for it. So they call to ensure that during the breeding season, they let every other male bird around know that this area is claimed and that everyone else should just move on somewhere else.

One reason birds chirp is to warn of predators. In the night cats and other nocturnal creatures are actively hunting, and perhaps the birds are simply warning each other every time a cat comes round.

They're probably mocking birds. They make noise all night because they're looking for mates.
I've had a problem with mocking birds for years! I asked about it here on YA and got some helpful answers. Here's the link: http://ph.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ant8Dp43g63.8._AAQ8gkhOJSAx.?qid=20070529234127AAp0rko

-Could it be crickets or frogs? Otherwise, 'could' be birds calling one another for mating. but in the middle of the night- never heard of such a thing!

Not all birds are active during the day. Some are nocturnal. As such, their active after dark and rest during the day.
