"There's a Bird on Me" is a Sesame Street song accompanying live-action footage of small birds resting on top of various other animals. The lyrics offer a comic complaint about the often symbiotic relationship between birds and mammals in the wild, including rhinoceroses and giraffes. Vocals were performed by the composer, Joe Raposo.
The segment was remade around Season 35 with Jerry Nelson on vocals for an origami-styled animation of a hippo with several birds on him.
