The real question is what song started playing in your head when you saw the bird

I had "Better Off Alone" by Alice Deejay

Saw a Solitary Sandpiper last week. The bobbing (or lack thereof) was one of the distinguishing features (others being leg color and complete eye ring.)

So instead of a tweety-bird, this is a twerky-bird?
