Songs About Birds

Apparently, it's Bird Day in the United States. Not National Bird Day, mind you (that's celebrated in early January) – just plain-old Bird Day. So in honor of that, here's a wonderful collection of songs about birds. I say "wonderful" because I had literally hundreds of songs about birds that I could choose from, so I was easily able to choose only the best (in my opinion, at least). No fillers necessary. Enjoy! No, really...enjoy them! Do it now!  ~  JH
