More than likely the bird was a cockatoo and Waltzing Matilda is about a sheep thief. They love their sheep here.

Ahh, I see. I couldn't distinguish types of bird by their chirps or tweets but I can recongnize sheep's bleatings anytime, mate. But noo, I don't make love to them.

Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.
