Me -» My son needs me , he’s hungry.»
My friend -» dont you know that the bird is the word?! «
Thank you.

??? — is he calling you ‘altricial’ ???
My only association with the phrase «bird is the word» is from the old song «Surfin’ Bird» by the Trashmen … (though I confess it was the Ramones version I heard first).

Oh I see, I think you are right because just before that conversation, we were talking about the movie «Full Metal Jacket» (Surfin’ Bird is the song of that movie)
Thank you very much mgarizona .

Hi ! I heard this expression several times (in songs, that’s right, but not the one mentionned before), and still wonder the exact signification. Seems like a bit like «that’s really it!», emphasizing on the fact that the thing mentionned got all the archetypal caracteristics of it, but I wonder of this interpretation is accurate.

Interesting Keridwen. I’ve personally never heard anyone use the expression outside of direct allusion to the song.
As for the phrase as used in the song, it’s easy to understand if you know that «Surfin Bird» by the Trashmen was cobbled together from two older doo-wop songs by a band called The Rivingtons: «Pappa-Oom-Mow-Mow» and «The Bird Is The Word.» The latter song is just one of a thousand «dance songs» from the period saying that there’s a new dance craze sweeping the nation— like the Twist or the Locomotion— this one called «the Bird»
The phrase «the Bird Is The Word» implies «this new dance, ‘the Bird,’ is what everybody is talking about right now, it’s the hot news of the day.
Compare that with a phrase like «What’s the word?» which is something you might saw when you run into a friend instead of «What’s new?»
We recently lost Gil Scott Heron who released «What’s the Word? Johannesburg» in 1975.

As an example, I can refer to the song «Black Crickets» from D.A.D.
In this song, the harvest is plagued by black crickets threatening the pioneers survival, until a cunning old man had the idea of building a giant nest, suggesting the presence of a giant bird to frighten the pests.
the lyrics then goes:
«They saw the nest the vision occured
And the dogs would wag their tails
Crickets all shouted: «Bird is the word»
The insects hit the trail»
What do you think about it?

I think you shouldn’t look to Danish bands for examples of English usage. Any English-speaker, for example, would have used the word «Locusts» and not «Crickets» in the title of that song. As for «bird is the word» in it? I’m sure they just thought it was funny … has no sense to it that I can see.

So I suppose I shouldn’t turn to german bands for more examples… though the song «eaglize it» from the Boss Hoss also contains this sentence.

OK, now you’ve got something to play with:
Take «legalize it»— common cry here for the legalization of marijuana— and turn it into ‘eagle-ize it’ … which would mean to take whatever
it
is (or
we are
) and make eagles out of it: a fine and noble aspiration if you ask me.
You can look at «Bird is the word» here one of two ways: it’s either just a fun reference to a song everyone knows and loves thrown into a song about birds, or it’s used pretty much the same way the Rivington’s used it in the original song. Now that we’ve ‘eagleized’ it, «Bird» is all anyone is talking about, «Bird» is the hot new craze: BIRD is THE WORD! (I suppose you could argue that the same meaning applies, however ridiculously, to the D.A.D. song as well.)
I can’t see the term having any other meaning. With the Rivingtons and Boss Hoss we’re given something to relate «the bird» to, which in turn gives the entire phrase meaning. In examples where you encounter «bird is the word» apropos of nothing, figure it’s just there for fun. Which is to say, it’s used the way the Trashmen used it— as meaningless wordplay— as opposed to how the Rivingtons used it: as a meaningful statement, even if only marketing ballyhoo.
In honor of naturalist John James Audubon’s birthday today. Here is a list of bird species names that also have other meanings.
Grouse:
- A grouse is a ground dwelling bird.
- Grouse as a verb means to complain or gripe about one’s problems.
Snipe:
- A snipe is a bird with a long straight bill, round body, and long legs. It inhabits marshlands or coastlines. At beaches it eats insects, snails, tiny crabs, fish eggs, and tiny fish. In the marsh it eats insects and small fish.
- Snipe as a verb:
- It can means to hunt snipe birds for food.
- It can also mean to use a gun as a sniper, shooting from a well-concealed position.
- Verbally, it means to deliver sharp criticism or nasty rude comments. It happens by the minute on social media from trolls.
Lark:
- A songbird famous for bursts of flying and catching insects in the air. “Skylark” is a famous song written by Hoagy Carmichael & Johnny Mercer.
- Lark can mean an easy task or a prank.
- Lark as a verb can means to play a prank, or make a little journey.
- In the phrase “<<do something>> on a lark” means to do something on a whim or spontaneously.
Cardinal:
- A Cardinal is a North American songbird that forages on seeds and nuts. The birds have a crest of hair atop their heads. The males have vermillion red feathers, making it one of the continent’s most colorful and recognizable birds. The female’s feathers are a dowdy taupe brown with dark red details. Both male and female have coral orange beaks.
- A cardinal is also a high ranking member of the clergy in Roman Catholicism. They famously wear red. Should the pope die, an international council of cardinals gathers in Rome, Italy to elect a new one.
- A cardinal sin is one of the 7 deadly sins in Christianity: greed, gluttony, envy, lust, anger, sloth, and pride.
Albatross:
- An albatross is a very large white coastal bird that dives in the ocean for fish.
- An albatross around one’s neck means something that is a pain or a nuisance. It comes from the poem ”The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” by Coleridge. The mariner hero is cursed with wearing a dead albatross around his neck because he killed it.
Robin:
- A robin is a songbird with a dark head and back, with a brightly colored chest and belly. (The North American robin is black-brown on its back with an orange chest; it is actually related to the thrushes. In the UK, the bird is small and round. Its back is grey with an orange chest. In Australia, the bird’s back is grey and its chest is fuchsia pink.) Robins eat worms and insects.

- The term “swan song” means a farewell performance or one last elegant gesture before death, a job departure, or other ending. It comes from the long held (but mistaken) belief that swans are quiet their whole lives, but sing just before death. Again, it’s a myth.
Goose:
- A goose is a large swimming and flying bird with a long neck. They make honking noises and are rather tempermental birds. Goose is also used to refer to the female, while gander is used for males. Geese are raised domestically for eggs, meat, and foie gras (fatted goose’s liver.)

- Duck as a verb means to dodge, or quickly move out of the way on an incoming object, for example, a ball, a puck, or a frisbee.
Chicken:
Maybe the most famous domesticated bird worldwide. Chickens come in white, black, auburn red, and/or with variegated feathers. The females are hens, the males are roosters (or cocks), and the babies are chicks or peeps.
- Chicken as an adjective can also mean to lack courage or nerve. No one who’s ever seen roosters battle one another could accuse these birds of cowardice.
- TRIVIA: Key West, Florida is home to feral chickens. Cubans brought them ages ago for cockfighting contests, and when that practice was outlawed, the birds were released into the streets to fend for themselves. The birds are a protected species on the islands like any seagull, flamingo, pelican, or osprey. They are an unofficial mascot.
- TRIVIA: Rhode Island’s state bird is the Red Rooster. The University of South Carolina’s mascot is a Gamecock, which is a fighting rooster. Coastal Carolina University’s mascot is a Chanticleer, a French fighting rooster.
