We have many Christian Hymn Writers who have written fantastic songs. The hymns below are the ones that I have found that mentions birds or fowls in some way or another. The links will become active as I finish the hymn’s page. As far as I know these are all in the Public Domain. If not, let me know and I will drop it. If you know of any that I have missed, let me know. The search is still on-going.

DENOMINATIONS WITH FORMAL HYMN PROCEDURES
John Wesley’s singing rules for Methodists (he had a Method for everything!):
1. Learn the tune.
2. Sing them as they are printed.
3. Sing all. “If it is a cross to you, take it up and you will find a bless­ing.”
4. Sing lustily and with a good cour­age.
5. Sing mo­dest­ly. Do not bawl.
6. Sing in time. Do not run be­fore or stay be­hind.
7. Above all, sing spir­it­u­al­ly. Have an eye to God in ev­ery word you sing. Aim at pleas­ing Him more than your­self, or any other crea­ture. In order to do this, at­tend strict­ly to the sense of what you sing, and see that your heart is not car­ried away with the sound, but of­fered to God con­tin­u­al­ly.
