This gentle singing-game teaches a beautiful German folk melody that adults may already be familiar with as “Wooden Heart” performed by Elvis Presley.  The children are encouraged touse their hands and arms in imaginative ways in time with the music.  The song is a homage to the relationship between pigeon fanciers and their birds and at a deeper level is about caring for animals.  It is peaceful and relaxing and would be good to sing at bedtime.
