I heard it a lot because of the "British Invasion" - pop music from England, starting with the Beatles and opening a wave of British pop groups, that dominated American pop radio for several years in the 60s. I'm pretty sure I heard it from Benny Hill and Monty Python, and maybe even Doctor Who. You mean recently? -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

"Bird" as slang for a female is still used in England (It's probably where the American expression "Chicks" comes from) although not as much these days- it's been used for as long as I've been around (50 years) But of course the question remains- why are women called birds?
