''[=SongBird=] Symphony'' is a video game alternating sections of PlatformGame and RhythmGame developed by Joysteak Studios. It was released for PC, UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch and UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 on July 25, 2019.
You play as Birb, a young chick living with Uncle Pea the peacock. Realising he's probably not a peacock himself, Birb decides to go looking for his origins. He seeks help from the Owl, said to be the wisest bird of the whole forest. On his journey, Birb meets many birds of several species and tries to help anyone needing a wing.
The whole game revolves around music, and not only during the RhythmGame sections. Birb needs to sing to activate moving blocks during the PlatformGame sections, helping him reach new zones or solve puzzles, and most of his accomplishments unlock notes which in turn add new notes or instruments to the soundtrack. The RhythmGame sections use several kinds of gameplay you discover along the plot, and alternate moments when you have to input notes with characters singing (the game is not voice acted, but you have karaokes).
The official page of the studio can be found here [[https://joysteak.com/]].

!!''[=SongBird=] Symphony'' contains examples of:
* BadassAdorable: Birb. In a universe where singing is power, he definitely kicks ass while being a total cutie.
* DanceOff: Between the penguins' leader and the blue-footed boobies' chef.
* DiurnalNocturnalAnimal: The Owl.
* EvilGloating: The BigBad reveals himself to the innocent Birb like this.
* FlintstoneTheming: With birds, obviously.
* InterspeciesAdoption: While they are both birds, Birb is not from the same species as Uncle Pea. [[spoiler:Also, Egbert is not a chicken.]]
* InterspeciesFriendship: Birb and Egbert are not from the same species of bird.
* ObliviousAdoption: Birb at the very beginning of the game. The realisation that Uncle Pea is probably not his biological family is what prompts him to go looking for answers about his origins.
* PunnyName: Egbert is, well, an egg.
* SlidingScaleOfAnimalCast: Level 1, all-animal cast.
