Better Bird Song

Somebody took a wonderful video of a bird singing and put it on facebook. They asked what the bird was singing. The RSPB has a disc of birds singing. They have three types of calls. The gentle, repetitive, yeaa, yah, it's okay, it's a lovely day to today and this is my territory song. The elaborate aria, come on darling, song, like a coloratura solo piece in an opera. and scree-eeching, sharp repeating warning - Help! Danger! Run! Fly! screeching song.

Obviously the bird is singing various similar things. It said, 

BETTER BIRD SONG
'Hello, what a sunny day, 
Come along and sing and play, 
Plenty of room on my firm branch, 
I'm here, my dear, not far away. 

'Are any pretty birds out there! 
I sing the best in our tree tops. 
Those other birds are, frankly, flops. 
Are any pretty birds out there!

' What was the next trill of that song?

I don't know - start another one: 

Up here, bad cats - we're out of reach

So many tricks we both can teach

'Come and join me, top of my tree, 

The view is new, changing and free
I love sunny, clear view weather!
Here let's build a nest together, 

Come on and join me, on my tree

Come along, be strong, sing with me

"Humans - what are you looking at, I'm not calling you humans, big wingless birds just birds like me, unless, of course, you've got sandwiches and birdseed, no, never mind, back to work - 
'Hello, any pretty birds out there ...' 
I didn't catch the last bit. Irene's probably right.Thank you for the inspiration.
