Their making sounds
And doing rounds
And filling the air with notes!

who's the timbit of the sky?
first to spot the hawk in flight
hey sweeties grab your seeds
hold out hands for chickadees
one two three count the D's
heed the call of the chickadee
who's the flying pastry puff
looks tiny but sure is tough
hey sweeties grab your seeds
hold out hands for chickadees
one two three count the D's
heed the call of the chickadee
who calls out cheeseburger?
lives outside in all weather?
hey sweeties grab your seeds
hold out hands for chickadees
one two three count the D's
heed the call of the chickadee
when we all fall asleep
the chickadees
hide from their foes
in tree condos
who's the timbit of the sky?
first to spot the hawk in flight
hey sweeties grab your seeds
hold out hands for chickadees
one two three count the D's
heed the call of the chickadee
hey sweeties grab your seeds
hold out hands for chickadees
one two three count the D's
heed the call of the chickadee

Hey little woodpecker what’s that sound
Must be you going up and down
Catching the bugs all taking a nap
I watch you go tap tap tap
Tap Tap Tap
Hey little woodpecker what’s that sound
Must be you flying around
Munchin the mites that munch the trees
Letting out a squeak squeak squeak
Squeak Squeak Squeak
Tap Tap Tap
Hey little woodpecker what’s that sound
Must be you and your red crown
Sticking your tongue in the tree hollow
Then playing your drum solo
Drum Solo
Squeak Squeak Squeak
Tap Tap Tap
Hey little woodpecker what’s that sound
Must be you coming to town
Watching the moves of the neighbours cat
When it’s close ya flap flap flap
Flap Flap Flap
Drum Solo
Squeak Squeak Squeak
Tap Tap Tap
Hey little woodpecker where’s your sound
Must be that you’re hiding now
For when the night owl goes hoo hoo
Safe and sound ya hungh shoo shoo
Hungh shoo shoo
Flap flap flap
Drum solo
Squeak Squeak Squeak
Tap Tap Tap
Hungh shoo shoo
Flap flap flap
Drum solo
Squeak Squeak Squeak
Tap Tap Tap

Every Pigeon is a Dove
03:21

Pigeons flock
Pigeons fly
Pigeons like to wander in front of my bike
Pigeons eat
Almost anything
From french fries to packaging
Pigeons bathe
In rain showers
Sure like to poop on business towers
When it’s time to impress a mate
Pigeons are known to regurgitate
Every sparrow has a story
Angry geese love their young
Lovely jays are noisy robbers
Every pigeon is a dove
Every pigeon is a dove
Pigeons live
From Seoul to Rome
Pigeons always find their way back home
Blindfold on
Miles away
Back for your crumbs that same day
Pigeons do
More than coo
They mailed secret letters in world war 2
And though it sounds
Quite absurd
You can teach a pigeon to read words
Every sparrow has a story
Angry geese love their young
Lovely jays are noisy robbers
Every pigeon is a dove
Every pigeon is a dove
Before you say “pigeon shoo!”
Or when you step in pigeon doo doo
I suggest
The attitude:
Pigeons contain multitudes
Every sparrow has a story
Angry geese love their young
Lovely jays are noisy robbers
Every pigeon is a dove
Seagulls steal for a reason
Fearsome hawks fall in love
Common crows remember faces
Every pigeon is a dove
Every pigeon is a dove

I like the bluest of blue skies
I prefer the stars shining in the night
I like the way the wind blows the trees
I prefer the way it scatters the leaves
My love we agree on oh so many things
We both love it when raffi sings
But when it comes to matters of beauty
My love
My love
Let's agree to disagree
I love the patterns of a spider web
I prefer the ones on a turtles head
I like the ducks with their heads so green
I prefer the ones that are camouflaging
My love we agree on oh so many things
We both love bread pudding
But when it comes to matters of beauty
My love
My love
Let's agree to disagree
Oh wait what's that, that just flew by?
That bird -
It's the colour of the bluest sky
I hope it stops here for a rest
It's chest
Like a beautiful sunset
Look there it's landed in a tree
It's a bluebird!
My gosh it's pretty
My darling did we just agree?
You know what this means...
My love we agree on oh so many things
We both love when raffi sings
But when it comes to matters of beauty
A bluebird
A bluebird’s
The prettiest thing we’ve ever seen

Anting
01:28

Why would you go in an ants’ nest?
Why would you go in an ants’ nest?
Of all the places to be your oasis
Why would you go in an ants’ nest?
Why stick your tongue in an ants’ nest
Why stick your tongue in an ants’ nest
Of all the places you could be tasting
Why stick your tongue in an ants’ nest?
If you if you were a bird
You might get a little ill
And there would not be a special pill
There would only be ants
Medicine for birds
Ant bites are medicine for birds
Ant bites are medicine for birds
Ant bites are medicine for birds, yeah
Ant bites are medicine
That's why you'd go in an ants’ nest
That's why you'd go in an ants’ nest
If you were a bird that was sick or hurt
That's why you'd go in an ants’ nest

When the spring goes drip drip drip
Listen for the potato chip
When the first flowers unfold
We will turn from gray to gold
Come ye birdies grab your flock
This is how the finches rock
Fly and dip and join the trip
Sing out loud potato chip
We have our chicks summer heat
When the plants have gone to seed
When the fall winds start to blow
We will lose our golden glow
Come ye birdies grab your flock
This is how us finches rock
Fly and dip and join the trip
Sing out loud potato chip
We love the hot and we love the cold
We love the leaves and we love the snow
We love the taste of springs first buds
But we’d rather not eat bugs
Come ye birdies grab your flock
This is how the finches rock
Fly and dip and join the trip
Sing out loud potato chip
Come ye birdies grab your flock
This is how the finches rock
Fly and dip and join the trip
Sing out loud potato chip

Junco

Hop like a junco
Looking for seeds
Scratch like a junco
Combing the leaves
Take up your wings in junco flight
Don't forget to flash your tail so white
Fly like a junco
Oh what a thrill
Sing like a junco
Give us a trill
And when it's time to make your nest
A little place on the ground is best!
Hop like a junco
Scratch like a junco
Take up your wings in junco flight
Don't forget to flash that tail so white
Move like a junco
Pumpin’ your tail
Eat like a junco
Right off the trail
And when it's time to sing a note
Better make it sound just like a phone!
When other birds fly south
To the warmer coasts
Juncos take their place
And don't even need coats
Hop like a junco
Looking for seeds
Scratch like a junco
Combing the leaves
Take up your wings in junco flight
Don't forget to flash that tail so white
Fly like a junco
Oh what a thrill
Sing like a junco
Give us a trill
And now the junco groove's complete
We can put up our junco feet

Turkey Vulture

When I go a make a mess
Use everything my fridge has left
Whose the one who cleans it up?
It's me
When nature goes and makes mess
Leaves out a rotting carcass
Whose the one who cleans it up?
Not me
Vultures do natures dirty work
If it wasn't for them
Earth would be a garbage bin
Vultures do natures dirty jobs
So let's all throw vultures a bone
Better throw the vultures that bone
Now a hawk is on the hunt
Eyeing squirrels for it's next lunch
Oh what come’s next?
I don't' want to say
Now the hawks up and left
Leaving me to clean up the mess
Oh! Whose on their way?
Thank the day!
Vultures do natures dirty work
If it wasn't for them
Earth would be a garbage bin
Vultures do natures dirty jobs
So let's all throw vultures a bone
Vultures do natures dirty work
If it wasn't for them
Earth would be a garbage bin
Vultures do natures dirty jobs
So let's all throw vultures a bone
Let’s all throw vultures
Let’s all throw vultures
Let’s all throw vultures a bone

Cardinals are laser birds I say
Cardinals are laser birds I say
You can call them cardinals but I'm saying laser bird
Cardinals are laser birds I say
Cardinals are redder
Then a beet root shredder
What else has that gleam?
Gosh darn laser beams!
Pyew pyew
Pyew pyew pyew
When you see that hue, it's your cue
Cardinals are laser birds I say
Cardinals are laser birds I say
You can call them cardinals but I'm saying laser bird
Cardinals are laser birds I say
When cardinals yap
They make little zaps
And the red senors
Sound just like star wars
Pyew pyew
Pyew pyew pyew
When you hear that tune it’s your clue
Cardinals are laser birds I say
Cardinals are laser birds I say
You can call them cardinals but I'm saying laser bird
Cardinals are laser birds I say
Cardinals were named
After men of faith
And with respect I say
There is a better way
Pyew pyew
Pew pew pew
When you hear that tune, speak the truth
Cardinals are laser birds I say
(Cardinals are laser birds I say)
Cardinals are laser birds I say
(Cardinals are laser birds I say)
You can call them cardinals but I'm saying laser bird
Cardinals are laser birds I say

The loon is here
Oh my dear
Have you ever seen a loon so near?
The loon is gone
Oh well womp womp
It was nice to see a loon un huh
It was nice to see a loon un huh
Back like a starry night - ta da
Filling up the night with a brew ha ha
It was nice to see a loon un huh
The loon is back
Going splash
Have you ever seen a loon take a bath?
The loon dove deep
Down to eat
When will the loon come up to breathe
When will the loon come up to breathe?
Way down there what will it see?
Do loons meet for underwater tea
When will the loon come up to breathe?
The loon is up
We could touch
Did the loon just wink at us
The loon is gone
Oh well womp womp
Maybe tonight we’ll hear loon song
Maybe tonight we’ll hear loon song
Maybe the owls will sing along
We’ll play drums with the fire tongs
Maybe tonight we’ll hear loon song
It was nice to sing a loon un huh
It’s back like a starry night - ta da
Filling up the night with a brew ha ha
It was nice to see a loon un huh
It was nice to see a loon un huh

Time to put the jam in the dish
I wanna see an Oriole (Oriole)
Time for spring to get it's wish
I wanna see an oriole (Oriole)
When your song fills the sky it makes me wanna cry
tears of joy
Boy I know it's clear
My dear
No fear
We know now summer’s near
Time to say bye to cold
I wanna see an
Oriole (Oriole)
Time for spring to explode
I wanna see an
Oriole (Oriole)
When I hear your tune, it makes me wanna swoon
Oriole (Oriole)
Now I know it's clear
My dear
No fear
We know now summer’s near
And I know when that halloween bird sings it’s song so nice from it’s chest so bright
That the days will be long and the nights are gone cause summer’s near
Oriole won't please come to my yard
I put out the jam in a little jar
I sliced up the fruit for you to taste
I even made your favourite marmalade
Oriole you’re like bird santa claus
I put out the snacks and then you’re gone
If this year I keep your feeder fresh
Won’t you stay and make a hanging nest
Oriole!
Time to put jam to dish
Wanna see an oriole
Time for spring to get it's wish
Wanna see an oriole
Time to put jam to dish
Wanna see an oriole
Time for spring to get it's wish
Wanna see an oriole

Red wing blackbird
You're the first to come in spring
Red wing blackbird
Do you ever like to sing
Your call so loud
It's like a scream
You fill the clouds
With conk la rees
Red wing blackbird
You're the loudest sign of spring
Red wing blackbird
You're not all talk
Red wing blackbird
Did I see you chase a hawk?
You call your friends
The chase is on
Y’all team up
The hawk is gone
Red wing blackbird
You're the toughest sign of spring
Should I pass by your nest I hope that
You don't come a peckin' on my hat
Though I know your just doing your best
To stay alert and protect your nest
From me
Red winged blackbird
Returning from away
Red wing blackbird
You look so good today
Your wings on fire
Your eyes like night
A streak of sun
Your quite the sight
Red wing blackbird
You're the prettiest sign of spring
Yes you’re the loudest toughest prettiest sign of spring (arent’ ya)
Yes you’re the loudest toughest prettiest sign of spring (one more time)
Yes you’re the loudest toughest prettiest
sign of spring

Cardinals go pew
Catbirds go mew
Cuckoo's go coo
But under the moon
Nighthawks go boom
Under the moon
Nighthawks go boom
Crows go caw
Nuthatches go wah
Ospreys go kyew
But under the moon
Nighthawks go boom
Under the moon
Nighthawks go boom
If you are a lonely nighthawk
Looking for love
Time to act like a falcon
Diving for lunch
The wind will pass through your feathers
And let out a boom
And if you’re lucky then your big crush
Will fall for you
Sparrows go cheep
Kinglets go see
Owls go hoo
But under the moon (under the moon)
Nighthawks go boom
Yes, under the moon (under the moon)
Nighthawks go boom
Under the moon (under the moon)
Nighthawks go boom
Yes, under the moon (under the moon)
Nighthawks go boom
