Tommy Siegel and Billy Libby are two nature-loving musicians on a quest to write a song about *EVERY* bird species on earth (there are only 11,136 species, so it shouldn't be too hard). On each episode, they'll do a deep dive to learn about each species and then play the song for a bird expert, who will decide if the song is EXTREMELY ACCURATE…or not.

  • Maybe too accurate

    They do say extremely accurate in the title, but sometimes I wish they were moderately accurate. I dunno, just a personal preference. Anyway you’ll like it and you’ll laugh.

  • THE best bird rock podcast

    If you love birds and you love rock, you MUST listen to Extremely Accurate Bird Songs. It’s vaguely along the lines of Weird Al and Jonathan Coulton, but Tommy and Billy are true birders and musicians. Don’t be deterred by the salacious podcast cover art! The bird biology is researched well and the songs are cool jams. They include Real Birders (TM) as special guests to listen and review their songs and not one has passed muster. Since the goal is to write a song for every bird species, this pod... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tufted Titmouse
Q: What do you think the Tufted Titmouse is in genre form?
Black guesses it might be a hyperpop or girl-pop anthem, but the hosts reveal that they wrote it as a Dave Matthews Band-style song.
Tufted Titmouse
Q: Do you have any particular relationship with the Tufted Titmouse?
Bonner Black says she loves the bird's name and humor, sees many Tufted Titmice where she lives, and follows their calls while birding because they can lead her toward warblers.
Blue Jay
Q: Do you have a particular relationship with the Blue Jay?
Matt Igleski discusses his long familiarity with Blue Jays from growing up near Michigan and highlights their distinctive east-coast presence and the bird's underappreciated profile in the eastern U.S., setting up a broader conversation about how people interact with urban Jays.
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Q: What inspired the musical direction for Yellow-Rumped Warbler, given its complexity among warblers?
The hosts explain they aimed for a vibe that reflects the warbler's ubiquity and the playful, pop-influenced energy of Bird Rock while staying true to the science and a catchy, repeatable motif.
Roseate Spoonbill
Q: How accurate is the lyric about the spoonbill's diet and feeding behavior?
The hosts discuss color causation by carotenoids from crustaceans and confirm the song's depiction aligns with known spoonbill foraging behavior.
