"Old man Peabody"

[A bit of explanation here, there's a North American bird called the White-throated Sparrow that has a... white throat. That doesn't need explaining. "Old man Peabody" was the phrase that was taught to me many years ago that describes the song of the sparrow. I've always been a big fan of birds, and so when I took a trip to the USA, a tour guide taught me this phrase and I've remembered it since. Perhaps they live near you and you have the pleasure of checking for yourself sometime.]
