I've collected some weird vintage bird imagery, from bird hats to bird people, ghost birds to giant birds.

Aside from "Who Killed Cock Robin", what are the tales and rhymes usually associated with Cock Robin?

I am deeply sorry to tell you I have ZERO knowledge about this question X) I don't even know what a cock robin is (as in, I do know of the rhyme but I never bothered to translate it to see what type of bird it was Xp

That being said I do recall reading something about it before, wait a bit... (pauses to do research)

Alright! The closest thing to an answer of this question I ever came across was the Cock Robin article of the "Fables Encyclopedia" which pointed out how the character of Cock Robin was actually at the center of an entire set of nursery rhymes:

Cock Robin 🎶 The Promise You Made

[my-chaos-radio]

Release: June 1, 1987

Lyrics:

Things aren't quite as they seem inside my domain

You can't know about everything, only pleasure and pain

You wonder why I come here with head to my hands

Where else can I be cured and the king of your mansion

A thorn in your side, a child to protect

That claims he's free

Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven

Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection

Darling come quickly, come ease my mind

For my prayers have not been answered in a long time

I've already made my bed, like it or not

As long as there's no regrets

I'll be here when the ride stops

These comforts to me and these crosses to bear

With which we live

Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven

Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection

Baby, I can't drag you into this mess

Songwriter: Peter Kingsbery

I'm the thorn in your side and the child to protect

And I'm just around the comer, half a mile to heaven

Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection

Darling come quickly, come ease my worried mind

For my prayers have not been answered in a long time
