Here's a few more for you. Hopefully no repeats.

Peter Gabriel from "So" - "This is the Picture (Excellent Birds)"
The Beatles from "Revolver" - "And Your Bird Can Sing"
The Beatles - Free as a Bird (this was a CD single)
Hoelderlin from "Rare Bird" Rare Birds (rather obscure - I love this song)
Joni Mitchell from "The Hissing of Summer Lawns" - "Sweet Bird"
Iona from "Beyond These Shores" - "Bird Heaven"
Jim Morrison from "American Prayer" - "Bird of Prey"
Neil Young "After the Goldrush" Birds
Anthony Phillips from "Wise After The Event" - "Birdsong and Reprise"
Nine Horses (David Sylvian) from "Snow Borne Sorrow" - "Darkest Birds"
Andreas Vollenweider from "Book of Roses" - "Birds of Tilmun"
Loreena McKennitt from "Mask and the Mirror" - "Bonny Swans"
Yes from "Magnification" - "Soft as a Dove" (pretty song)

Some of these songs are metaphorical references to human nature versus being
specifically about a type of bird. So I don't know if they will strictly fit
your theme.

Subject: Songs about birds

Dear all,

Here's a question for all those of you who like to participate in this kind
of thing.
For a friend of mine, I am currently compiling a mixed tape, well cd, with
songs about birds. By that I mean songs that have the name of a certain type
of bird in the songtitle. Examples: "Little bird" by Annie Lennox is not
good (non-specific), "The nightingale" by Julee Cruise is good (i.e.
specific). I am making a booklet to go with the cd and each song has to be
represented by a real bird. That's the idea, anyway.

To make matters a bit more difficult: my friend doesn't like 'heavy guitars'
so some ecto artists will have to be dropped, while others (who use guitars
but not in a 'hard' way) are still acceptable.

Well, this is the briefing, I hope you have something to contribute. If all
goes well I'll send out a nice tracklisting to this list. :)

Kind regards,

Marcel.
