Whaddayasay Bird and Forcryingoutloud Bird trying to woo Ohreally Bird.
Birds in the Trees is a sketch from The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence in which several male birds (Ohboy Bird, Whaddayasay Bird and Forcryingoutloud Bird) try to attract two females (Youknow Bird and Ohreally Bird) to the tune of a bass-centric jazz piece by the Electric Mayhem. Each bird has its own distinctive call based on its name. The females finally settle for Righton Bird.
The idea for the sketch, with puppeteers manipulating the birds being dressed in black, was originally conceived by Jim Henson as part of his Broadway Show proposal.
