Questions & Answers about В парке птицы поют громко каждое утро.

Why is В парке used here, and what case is парке in?

The preposition в with the prepositional case indicates a static location (“in the park”). The noun парк becomes парке in the prepositional case. If you wanted direction (“to the park”), you’d use в парк (accusative case).

Why is птицы in the nominative plural and not another case?

Птицы is the subject of the sentence (they perform the action поют), and subjects are in the nominative case. The singular is птица, and its nominative plural form is птицы.

Why aren’t there any articles (a, the) before птицы or парке?

Russian does not have definite or indefinite articles like English a or the. Context, word order, or adding words like этот/та/те (this) can show definiteness, but you don’t need articles.
