Reminds me of a character in LM Alcott’s Eight Cousins books, an orphan maid who becomes a famous concert singer. She always ends her concerts by imitating a bunch of bird calls; people are apparently charmed by this.
I have a Peanuts Christmas clock that does some kind of chime on the hour. I’ve never used that feature, so I don’t remember exactly what it sounds like! It’s a very cute clock, though, with Woodstock on the tip of the second hand.
Mr. Schultz must have been short on time when he did this. Several of the cells are identical except for the musical notes; others are very similar. Still, amazing talent that can get so good a gag out of repetitive illustrations.
In an episode of MASH Hawkeye told a joke about a man who could fly. l Upon anding after a demonstration of his arial skills, he was asked “That’s all you can do, bird imitations?”.

Reminds me of the “Singing Bird Clock” that they used to advertise on television.

Does Woodstock have to do his birdcalls on a piano now? Good grief…

A French composer, Olivier Messiaen, (1908 – 1992), wrote a number of pieces based wholly upon birdsong.

There’s a whole community of people who do that, Snoopy. They’re called bird-watchers.
There are worse things to listen to. Road construction, rap or country music or opera, neighbors fighting or a dog incessantly barking, among them.

There’s a long history of bird songs in music. They’re fun!
