The Birds were a well known act in the 60's rhythm and blues scene in England. They had a similar sound to rival bands such as The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Yardbirds, The Pretty Things, etc., but never achieved the same status in the long run.
Having recorded only a total of 3 singles for Decca and a final disc for Reaction; the band split up in 1967, partially based on the name confusion with Los Angeles group The Byrds. Their final release "Say Those Magic Words" b/w "Daddy Daddy" used the name Birds Birds in an attempt to distinguish themselves. Several unreleased tracks from the group have turned up and appear on their "Collector's Guide to Rare British Birds" CD.
