The Big Idea

Bird songs can be hard to remember. But there's a fun trick! Silly sentences!

Memory Tricks

Step one: Memory Tricks. Bird watchers use memory tricks to help them recognize songs. They match a song to a silly sentence with the same rhythm.

Famous Examples

Step two: Famous Examples. A barred owl's hoot sounds like, who cooks for you? An eastern towhee seems to say, drink your tea! And a robin's cheery song is often described as cheerily, cheer up.

Rhythm Sticks

Step three: Rhythm Sticks. The words aren't exact, but the rhythm sticks in your head. After you match the sentence to the song, you can find that bird again.
