Battle of The Bird Songs

This week's Neil Young song is DANGER BIRD.
Gee, its a great song. Yes, its true. It was a great song last month, and the month before that, too. I translated it (using Google, not my rusty German) auf Deutsch for you all.

Danger Vogel, er fliegt allein
Und er fährt der Wind zurück zu seiner Wohnung
Obwohl seine Flügel haben sich zu Stein

See? Okay, pretty sure a verb is missing in that last line, but it's still awesome! Now, that's what I call staying power. I've been thinking, wouldn't it be cool if we could stage a battle between all the epic birds from the songs we love (or don't)?

Surfin' Bird ("Ah bird bird bird, bird is the word") vs. Bob Marley's"Three Little Birds".
(Even with three, sorry Bob, they lose. Everything is gonna be alright. Wocka wocka.)

And on to the road trip division:

Free Bird vs. Danger Bird!
Maybe the winner goes on to battle Ice T's Ghetto Bird.
Not quite as proven, but he's got that inner-city grit.
