I'll add a couple of songs from Neil Young

Danger Bird - from Zuma
Hawks and Doves

And some lyrics from Bob Dylan

CORRINA, CORRINA
I got a bird that whistles,
I got a bird that sings.
I got a bird that whistles,
I got a bird that sings.

UNDER THE RED SKY
Let the bird sing, let the bird fly,

JOKERMAN
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,

MEET ME IN THE MORNING
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
Well, the birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed

TINY MONTGOMERY
One bird book
Do that bird

YOU'RE A BIG GIRL NOW
Bird on the horizon, sittin' on a fence,
And I'm just like that bird, oh, oh,

FATHER OF NIGHT
Father, who teacheth the bird to fly,

DEAD MAN, DEAD MAN
Satan got you by the heel, there's a bird's nest in your hair.

MOONLIGHT
To hear again the songbird's sweet melodious tone
The masquerades of birds and bees

UNDER YOUR SPELL
Well it's four in the morning by the sound of the birds,

SIGN ON THE CROSS
know 'bout that any more, because the bird is here and

'TIL I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU
Girls like birds flying away

GATES OF EDEN
As he weeps to wicked birds of prey

HARD TIMES IN NEW YORK TOWN
Mister Rockefeller sets up as high as a bird,

TROUBLE IN MIND
He's gonna make you a law unto yourself, gonna build a bird's nest in
your hair.

BALLAD IN PLAIN D
"Are birds free from the chains of the skyway?"

HIGH WATER (FOR CHARLEY PATTON)
The Cuckoo is a pretty bird, she warbles as she flies

TANGLED UP IN BLUE
Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew,
