For the birds
While taking a nap, I dreamed about listing bird songs. While still asleep, I must have thought of 20 - 30 songs. (Yeah, I know I have a problem)
Just some;
Tennessee Bird Walk
Paloma Blanca
Yellow Bird
May The Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose
Mockingbird
Snowbird
Gonna Find Me A Bluebird
Surfin' Bird
List some more

Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Hummingbird - Seals & Crofts
Birds of a Feather - Paul Revere & The Raiders
El Condor Pasa - Simon & Garfunkel
Fly Robin Fly - Silver Convention
Rockin' Robin - Bobby Day
Pretty Flamingo - Manfred Mann
Fly Like An Eagle - Steve Miller Band
Fly Little White Dove Fly - The Bells (popular in Canada, not sure of the U.S.)

Re: For the birds
Fly Little White Dove Fly - The Bells (popular in Canada, not sure of the U.S.)
Bluebirds Over The Mountain - Ronnie Hawkins (another Canadian hit)
"Fly Little White Dove, Fly" made it to #95 on Billboard in 1971.
The original of "Bluebirds Over The Mountain" by Ersel Hickey reached #75 in 1958. The highest-charting version in the US was done by The Beach Boys, who took it to #61 in 1968. Hawkins' version is excellent, but I think that it may not have had a US release; in Canada it was released on Hawkins' own Hawk record label.

Re: For the birds
I omitted posting one to see if anybody thought of it. Might be the mother lode listing 23 birds, maybe more depending on your interpretation.

"Sing A Song Of Sixpence" has 4 and 20 blackbirds. One flew off and pecked off the maid's nose so that leaves 23. It didn't chart too high, but it must be it!

I didn’t think it would be this hard
It’s a common song but sung for kings & queens, lords & ladies

Re: For the birds
I have a book called "The Great Song Thesaurus".
Many songs about birds are mentioned in it. I can't even write them all. I will mention only a few:
(There'll Be Blue Birds Over) The White Cliffs Of Dover
When The Birds In Georgia Sing Of Tennessee
Two Little Bluebirds
Shady Lady Bird
Let's All Sing Like The Birdies Sing
She Was One Of The Early Birds

Re: For the birds
I think the one with 23 birds is "The Twelve Days of Christmas". I might have gotten it sooner, but my preferred versions involve either an indoor plastic birdbath or a beer (in a tree).

Yep, that's what I was looking for.

I like the part with
And a Japanese transistor radio
And it has a wire with a thing on one end
That you can stick in your ear
And a thing on the other end
That you can't stick anywhere, because it's bent
