Maybe you aren't lucky enough to have bluebirds, but surely you have blue birds. The blue tit comes to mind.

This video gives the tune that I have always known as 'Country Gardens.'

When I try to match the lyrics given here to it, they don't seem to fit well. Are there two tunes by this name?
====================
I remember a version from the 50's that started:

I never knew I'd fall in love with you
on a pleasing Sunday afternoon.

That's all I can remember. I believe it was a duo, and the woman had the most irritating, bright and chipper voice. I never listened long, but now I think that with a different singer it might be a charming little song.
