Bird song for kids — "Little Bird!" cover art by Snuggle Bunch

Little Bird!

About This Song

There’s something special about watching a little bird hop around in a tree. Happy, wild, free, doing a little wiggle and fluffing its feathers. It just clicks with kids! “Little Bird!” captures that wide-eyed wonder. We wrote this one outside of daycare right after dropoff, it has a special place in our hearts!

This gentle family hip hop track is perfect for little ones who love nature, animals, and imagining what it’s like to fly. “Little Bird” is sweet sing-along for toddlers and preschoolers, and a delightful bop for parents, too.

Lyrics

🐦 🐦 🐦 🐦 🐦 🐦

Little bird in a little green tree
So happy so wild so free
Little bird in the big blue sky
So happy so free so wild

I would like to be
A little bird in a big ol’ tree
I would like to see
All the things the birdies see

Little bird, in the tree
Little bird, you and me
You might be little
But you know your stuff
You do a wiggle
When your feathers fluff

Little bird in a little green tree
So happy so wild so free
Little bird in the big blue sky
So happy so free so wild

I would like to be
A little bird in a big ol’ tree
I would like to see
All the things the birdies see

Little bird, in the tree
Little bird, you and me
You might be little
But you know your stuff
You do a wiggle
When your feathers fluff

Listen to Little Bird!

  • Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (R&B Mix)

    You’ve sung “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” a thousand times. In the car, at bedtime, in the grocery store when things were getting dicey. So we figured, what if that melody got the R&B treatment it’s been quietly deserving all along? This version keeps every word your kids already know and wraps it in a smooth, soulful groove that won’t make you want to leave the room by verse two.

  • Little Man Dance

    A new experimental jazz tune with Jazz Animals, inspired entirely by this adorable squat dance my one year old does whenever he hears a song he likes! A big fan of the sound of a trumpet, this one takes a similar sample-based approach to You’re a Big Man!, but with a slightly more laid-back vibe.

  • I’m a Little Teapot!

    Your kids already know the words. They’ve been doing the handle-and-spout dance since daycare. So we took “I’m a Little Teapot” and flipped it to a hip hop bop it’s been waiting for. We kept the classic verses and added on our spin about heating up water for mommies and daddies, and how a fresh cup of tea helps us parents! Let’s be real, sometimes a teapot song is for the grown-ups too.

  • Inside Voices (Let’s Keep It Down)

    You know that moment when your kid has exactly one volume setting (and it’s too loud?) When baby brother just nodded off, the teacher’s mid-sentence, and your child picks right now to test the acoustics. “Inside Voices (Let’s Keep It Down)” is for every parent who’s ever done the frantic whisper-shush while their kid stares back like you’re the unreasonable one.
