If Norwegian Wood qualifies as a bird song, then this one does too. This song is more bird-like than half the songs on the list. Had Joe Jackson named this song Bluebird, I have no doubt it would be one of the top 5 songs in this poll. What other songs with heavy bird content are being overlooked because of title name ?

Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out

Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd

I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1976 - one of the more memorable concerts. Freebird was really special they played a long version - really cool.

Surfin' Bird is a great fun tune, but I voted for Freebird. I have a soft spot in my heart for classic southern bands and Skynyrd was as classic as they got. One mother of a number and overplayed for all the right reasons.

ps - Kudos for not placing Disco Duck on the list. I might have considered Leonard Cohen's Bird On A Wire, but it's not widely known.
