I don't listen to music like that but I'm actually listening to the album on which this piece is included..

It's good to break your own rules and habits from time to time

Thanks @Confused !

You are welcome, and you have already thanked me enough by introducing me to the world of bird music.  I suspect my life will never truly be the same again.  I shall run through all the music in this thread to fully understand the genre, but meanwhile, I would like to offer the only song I know, with lyrics, actually sung by a bird, albeit a plastic one.  I will try to come up with something a little more musically challenging next time........ 

 

(To be honest, I am not sure this qualifies as being an actual bird, or indeed as actual music)

I have started running through the various links in this thread, just made it to page 3.  I think I am getting the idea of bird music now.  Some interesting music, and my favorite from page 1 one was Lene Lovich's Bird Song, thanks @Lightstream

 

From page 2 of the tread, it does, for, me have to be @AudioDoctor 's offering of the Trashmen's Surfin' Bird.

 

Here's my contribution for today:

A cover version, from the album "A Box of Birds".  Followed by the far superior original version from Hawkwind.  (I'll try not to cheat so much next time....)

Or maybe a live version?

Or maybe with a smaller guitar and real live birds?  (this is a must watch video, by far my favorite of the lot.)

Or maybe a half decent recording in her bedroom?

A clip from the past, but could represent the future for @sphinxsix….

Anyway, back to the music🙂

That's what it's about. Snowball.

 

 

Snowball clearly not only moonwalks but also headbangs (!) to M.Jackson music. I can only speculate what does it do when heavy metal is on if Jaco tune is enough to provoke the bird's headbanging.. 

 

 

Is there a bird website with a “Human music” thread?

not yet - but they do sometimes mimic the acoustic emanations of the hairless monkeys

Eh?  I have lots of hair, although my recent attempt at growing feathers did not go well.

to grow feathers you need to start with scales

That bit was easy, the feathers not.☹️

Anyway, back on topic.  Is this bird music?

Not exactly bird music, more a flying feathered public address system....
