Jim Wideman's Puppet Trax Vol. 5. "I'll Fly Away" is perfect for bird puppets.

Use a bird puppet to illustrate pithy sayings such as "You can't keep a bird from flying over your heard, but you can keep him from building a nest in your hair." "The early bird gets the worm."

Spend time developing a great personality for your bird puppet . You might let it have an attitude like the crow. Or give it a "bird brained" personality that always seems to get confused on everything. A bird brained personality would mess up even the simplest sayings.
