Overthinking the obvious II

About four months ago, while listening to SiriusXM, I thought I'd read a Rosanne Cash song title as "A Father's Not A Bird." 

"That's a cryptic song title," I thought.  "I wonder if it means that no one parent can be expected to take care of everything for his family, including the human equivalents of building a nest, securing worms for his baby birds, and warbling to soothe them when they can't sleep."

Then, I put my glasses on.

"Oh," I realized.  "The song is actually called 'A Feather's Not A Bird.'"

Admittedly, that makes more sense.
