Bird Themed Songs

I'm a Little Parakeet
To the Tune Of "I'm a Little Teapot"

I'm a little parakeet,
Yellow and blue.
with wings and feathers,
I'm quite beautiful too.
I can chirp and sing,
And I like to fly
Have lots of fun with me,
just you and I



If You Love Birds and You Know It
To the tune of "If You Are Happy and You Know It"

If you love birds and you know it, flap your wings,
If you love birds and you know it, flap your wings,
If you love birds and you know it,
Then your arms will surely show it.
If you love birds and you know it, flap your wings,


Flap, Flap, Flap Your Wings
To the tune of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"

Flap, Flap, Flap Your Wings
Fly so high and free.
Flap them left and flap them right,
Flap them now with me.



Ten Little Robins
To the tune of "Ten Little Indians"

One red, two red, three red robins,
Four red, five red, six red robins,
Seven red, eight red, nine red robins
Ten robins fly past me.
Ten red, nine red, eight red robins,
Seven red, six red, five red robins,
Four red, three red, two red robins
All are in my tree.



The Old Wise Owl
To the tune of "The Muffin Man"

Do you know the old wise owl,
the old wise owl, the old wise owl.
Do you know the old wise owl?
His nest is in the tree.
