"Bird Tutorial" by Sidney Gish is a quirky and whimsical song that humorously explores the process of teaching a parakeet to talk. The song highlights the fun and challenging aspects of this endeavor. The lyrics describe how the old method of teaching parakeets to talk took time and effort. However, the record being played in the song was specifically designed to make the process easier and more efficient. It utilizes a scientific method that is difficult to master but promises successful results. The song emphasizes the importance of a well-trained and scientific voice that repeats the same words and phrases over and over again. These repetitions aim to teach the parakeet to mimic and eventually speak the words. Sidney Gish playfully suggests that the parakeet will use the same words and phrases for communication in the future. The song then pauses for a few seconds before the actual parakeet's talking lessons or experiments begin. The song doesn't have a clear narrative or storytelling element. Instead, it focuses on the amusing concept of training a parakeet to speak using a scientific approach. It captures the lightheartedness and whimsy often associated with training pets and the joy that comes from seeing progress and accomplishments.
