High school biology, comparative anatomy. In a classroom situation, one could use the song to help kids compare present-day birds and, ummmm, dinosaurs (evolution). Or birds and other birds could be compared. What makes a robin a robin, for example and not a 'wise old owl' or an oriole or a crow or a buzzard?

You can do many things, depending on the age group. K-3, you can do a movement exercise with them to act like birds during the chorus and move for the verses. Grade 4-5, you can talk about poetry of music and have them write new lyrics. 7-12, have them make a music viedo to fit the song. Hope this helps.
