Hello.:)

Birds are singing in the tree.

The other day, one of my students said to me, "Can I say 'Birds are singing on the tree' instead of 'They are singing in the tree'?"
I couldn't answer it.:oops:

How should I explain it to her?

Thank you.
 
We also place decorations (e.g. Christmas) on trees.
