We Japanese tend to remember the bird twitter changing into Japanese.
We say this as "tori no kikinashi(鳥の聞きなし)"or only "kikinashi(聞きなし)".

What do you think this bird is twittering in Japanese?
Uguisu(ウグイス)


We think this bird is twittering like, "hoo hokekyo(ホー、ホケキョ)".

Next, a little bit difficult. Let's try.
Hototogisu(ホトトギス)


This is "teppen kaketaka(テッペンカケタカ)".

The last one is very difficult.
Hoojiro(ホオジロ)


This is "ippitsu keijyo tsukamatsuri sourou(いっぴつけいじょうつかまつりそうろう)".
It is impossible, isn't it!
