Been at home in the garden this morning, it’s a beautiful day.  There’s only one thing bothering me though.  The Oy-La-Li-Oy-La-La Bird is driving me potty.  All day long it sings the first part of the chorus and then STOPS, like a game of musical chairs.  Leaving my poor daydreaming head searching for the other notes to resolve the tune.

It wouldn’t be so bad if it was something off the Captain Salt album but everyone knows Oy-La-Li is regularly voted in the top five worst Bugs songs of all time. A chart usually topped by Number Eight, the eight-minute avant-garde art gibberish soundscape in B minor with no tune.  And if there’s a bird out there that knows how to sing that I’ll be very impressed.

I would be very appreciative if anyone out there can tell me what this annoying bird is, so that I can put a supply of its favourite food in the field around the corner and lure it well away from my garden.

Alternatively, please let me know if there is a British songbird in existence whose call is the second half of the tune of the chorus of annoying Bugs knees-up Oy-La-Li. And if there is, what does it eat? Perhaps I can entice a couple into my garden.  Then everyone will be ha ha ha ha happy ever in the market place….. ARRGGGH!!!!
