about

Hi, my name's Papa Bird.

The male American Robin brings his mate nesting material as she builds a nest, then he stands guard and sings his song to alert other bird families of his territory.

This is an anthropomorphized parenting song about a bird preparing the nest for a cluck of eggs. Lots of songbirds and birds of prey share the responsibility of nest building between the parents. As a human Dad who takes my fathering job seriously, I wanted to write a song that could include parents of any gender as we go through the timeless, cross-species process of preparing for the arrival of a new baby.

lyrics

I'm building a nest for you my little egg
Way up high in a tree to keep you safe
You know I love you already
I'm building a nest for you my little egg

Until we meet
Beak to beak
Dream and rest
In my nest

I found some indigo wool and horse hair
A streamer from a balloon that broke away
A feather lost against a wind blown fence
Believe it, I'll weave it for you into your nest

Until we meet
Beak to beak
Dream and rest
In my nest

I sleep outside at night with singing frogs
A cherry blossom moon up in the sky
I warm you with my feathers and my wings
So rest in this nest with you my sweet little egg

Until the day
Your eggshell breaks
You'll be blessed
In my nest
