In many European countries the nightingale population has plunged by more than 90% in recent decades. Right outside my window this evening.. (atop of the tree). [...] I didn't know it back then (I could hear the bird but I couldn't see it) but the bird which had directly inspired this thread was a nightingale. This is what it sounds like. Dedicated to the most persistent participants of this thread..

Thanks for these. Not often recorded but recognized in British folk circles, or so I gather. Here's a different version of "Of All the Birds":

Turkey Rhubarb seems to have deeper roots than this in Cornish tradition, see the description of the St Ives Guise [geese] Dance:

"The Turkey Rhubarb dance always marked the finale to the evening’s proceedings."

I'm so glad some here dig the right stuff, really extremely glad   

 

 

 

 

And so we've arrived at one of the best bird movies ever.

 

 

 

Some virtuosic Marxist music..

I must make it absolutely clear - I'm for duck soup mainly in cinematographic form.

As for beef - it's been proved it's even more unhealthy.. 

 

So let's remember - a bird that has been eaten usually won't fly away..

Usually.. 

(the dog in this video looks as if it's eating the cat but it isn't, anyway let's not eat cats - a cat that has been eaten usually doesn't meow..)

 

 

Do not eat chicken anthem. Cow is mentioned too.. (I fuse again!)

 

 

Although sometimes as they say 'bird eats bird'..

But we don't have to be like that, we're not birds after all..

Some deadly serious birds.

Chicken power..

 

 

What immediately comes to mind is of course..

 

 

It just needs a little more power.. (BTW in a way it's obviously a swine song)

 

 

 

 

Even more extreme rooster death metal attack.

 

 

 

                                                        We're almost there..

Some opera on wings  

 

 

A human (?) version.

 

 

 

BTW don't even try not to laugh with kookaburra..

 

 

BTW I hope everybody remembers the bird which can fool kookaburra with its birdsong..

 

 

..and even can have a brief chat with David Attenborough..

Prior to...

 

         

 

..some bird music from hell..

 

Hatebeak is an animal grindcore/death metal band, formed by Blake Harrison and Mark Sloan, featuring Waldo (b. 1991), a grey parrot. Hatebeak is reported to be the first band to have an avian vocalist. They never tour so as to not torture the bird. They released the album 'Number of the Beak' on June 26, 2015, through Reptilian Records.

The band's sound has been described as "a jackhammer being ground in a compactor". Aquarius Records magazine called Hatebeak "furious and blasting death metal".

Hatebeak made its second record with Caninus, a band whose lead singers were two dogs. 

 

Time for some music

A little more about Hatebeak and Waldo - their parrot vocalist.

 

 

 

 

@christopher3393 @DuckToller BTW as for the three bands I recently mentioned on the animal threads..

..isn't the fact that they cooperated an amazing coincidence.? I only regret Cattle Decapitation didn't have a moocalist..

Ramblin' Red Bailey - Take off like a bird

(wondering how anything could surpass the revelatory force of Aristophanes "Birds")

 

 

 

 

 

C. Hubert H. Parry - Suite from The Birds of Aristophanes

 

 

"The Hoopoe calls to his wife, the Nightingale, and bids her to begin her celestial music. The notes of an unseen flute swell through the theatre and meanwhile the Hoopoe provides the lyrics, summoning the birds of the world from their different habitats—birds of the fields, mountain birds and birds of the trees, birds of the waterways, marshes and seas. These soon begin to appear and each of them is identified by name on arrival. Four of them dance together while the rest form into a Chorus."

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Birds_(play)

 

Hoopoopoo! Poopoopoo!

 Ee-oo! Ee-oo! Come everyone!

 Come all my feathered friends!

 All you who live on well-sown farmers’ fields,

 You myriad flocks of barley-eaters,

 Seed-peckers of countless kinds,

 Birds Fly quickly here, emit your mellow cries!

 And all you birds that crowd in furrows

 To twitter round the crumbling clods

 With such elated sounds,

 Twee-twee, twee-twee! Twee-twee, twee-twee!

 And all you birds of garden habitats

 Where ivy branches sprout,

 You mountain species, feeders on olives and berries,

  Take wing at once in answer to my call!

 Trrrr, trrrr! Trrrr, trrrr!

 And you who on the rolling hills

 Gulp down shrill gnats, and you who live

 In the dew-soaked plains and Marathon’s lovely meadows,

 With you of mottled-wings, O francolin, francolin!

And birds which over the sea’s great swell

 Soar out among the halcyons,

 Come here to learn the latest news!

 Yes, every class of long-necked bird

 Must congregate around me.

 An old and wily man’s arrived;

His mind is full of new ideas

And new the deeds he plans to do.

Come, all you birds, to hold discussion,

 Quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly!

Tsee-tsee, tsee-tsee!

 Kee-wick! Kee-wick!

 Tsee-tsee, tsee-tsee, tisisisi!
