The film's score and soundtrack composed by A. R. Rahman was highly successful. The film was released on 15 January 1996 and had an average performance commercially.[1] The film is a remake of the 1986 Kannada film Ratha Sapthami for which P.

Prabhu Deva was signed to work on the film after working in Shankar's 1994 hit Kadhalan, and his pair from that film, Nagma, was also signed on. British Indian musician Apache Indian was also signed on to sing and dance for a music video in the film.[6]
The film was predominantly shot across London, with scenes also canned at Buckingham Palace and at a Hilton Hotel. The producers had earlier location scouted in the city and took music director, A. R. Rahman along to get a feel of the city.[7]
The soundtrack was composed by A. R. Rahman, with lyrics by Vairamuthu for the original Tamil version, by Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry for the Telugu version and by P. K. Mishra and Mehboob for the Hindi version.[8] The song "Malargaley" is set to the raga Hamir Kalyani.[9]
The film opened in January 1996. The film opened days earlier in Malaysia than India and was shown across 27 theatres in the country, a figure only usually exceeded for Tamil films starring Rajinikanth, and this mirrors the large release the film received.[7] K. Vijiyan of New Straits Times gave a positive review saying, "This movie seems made for courting couples, especially those who are facing problems with disapproving parents" and added that "strong dialogue makes the film rise slight above the ordinary".[7] Kalki was more critical, calling it yet another blowback for Prabhu Deva.[10] The Hindu wrote "To bank on the Kathalan team of Prabhu Deva and Nagma to deliver the goods without a powerful story to back their effort has cost Pyramid Films International, the makers of Love Birds, dearly despite shooting most part of the second half in England. Experienced director P. Vasu has written the story, dialogue, screenplay and somehow he is not able to infuse his usual sentiment oriented touches because the scope is very minimal in the plot" but praised Rahman's music and Sekar's cinematography.[11] Love Birds became an average grosser at the box office but was a little better than Prabhu Deva's next, Mr. Romeo. The actor thus had to go through a slump in his film career.[12]
"Lovebird" is a song recorded by British singer-songwriter Leona Lewis for her third studio album Glassheart (2012). It was written by Bonnie McKee, Joshua "Ammo" Coleman and Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald, and produced by Josh Abrahams, Ammo and Oligee. "Lovebird" was recorded at Pulse Recording in Los Angeles and is a power ballad, incorporating a piano and synth-driven melody. The lyrics consist of Lewis informing her past lover that enough time has passed since their relationship for her to have moved on and to have developed as a person. Critics praised Lewis' vocal performance, likening her technical abilities to those of Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. The musical structure of the song was heavily compared to one of her previous singles, "Bleeding Love", along with songs performed by Adele. The accompanying music video shows Lewis trying to escape from a giant bird cage.
To promote "Lovebird", Lewis performed the song on talk shows Daybreak and Loose Women in the United Kingdom, in addition to singing competition La Voz in Spain. Nonetheless, "Lovebird" sold fewer than 600 copies upon its release, failing to attain one of the top 200 chart positions on the UK Singles Chart; however, two weeks after the release of Glassheart, "Lovebird" peaked at number 22 on the South Korea Gaon Single Chart due to strong digital download sales.
On New Years Day 2012, a low quality snippet of "Lovebird" leaked under the title "Love Birds".[1] After the song leaked, Lewis expressed her frustration at the song being available for listening to on the Internet, stating: "I'm sad that one of my songs leaked. As an artist that holds music dear to my heart I would've liked to share it with u [sic] when it's ready. I hope that you feel it like I do and when it's time to be released you'll still support it in the right way. Thank u [sic] for the love."[2] That same month, it was announced that the album was expected to be released on 26 March 2012.[3] Record executive Simon Cowell later publicly give his support for Glassheart, saying to Lewis that, although there had been a lengthy wait of two years for new music, the album was "sensational", and that Lewis had "never sounded better."[4]
In October 2012, "Trouble" was released as Glassheart's lead single. Lewis then announced that "Fireflies" would serve as the album's second single; a lyric video for the song was uploaded to Lewis' official VEVO account on 26 October 2012.[5][6] However, when Lewis appeared as a special guest performer at the London Oxford Street Christmas light switch-on event on 5 November 2012, she introduced "Lovebird" as the second single and performed it for the first time.[7] It was later confirmed by Sony Music that "Lovebird" had replaced "Fireflies" as the album's second single, and that it would be released as the lead single for the album in Europe.[8] "Lovebird" was made available for download in Finland, the Netherlands, Portugal and Switzerland on 16 November 2012.[9][10][11][12] It was released in France, Italy and Spain a few days later on 19 November 2012.[13][14][15] In the United Kingdom, "Lovebird" was not released as a standalone digital download; occasionally record labels will select a song to be a single and promote the release for a particular date ("impact date"), without the single being listed separately from the album in digital download stores.[16] The song was available to purchase as an individual album track and was given an impact date of 9 December 2012.[16] It was released in Germany on 12 April 2013.[17]
Lewis performed "Lovebird" for the first time at the switching-on of the Christmas lights at Oxford Street in London on 5 November 2012;[23] she also performed "Trouble".[23] The singer performed the song live on Daybreak on 23 November 2012,[24][25] on Loose Women on 29 November 2012[citation needed] and again on 8 December 2012 at the National Lottery Awards.[26] To promote the song in Spain, Lewis sung "Lovebird" on La Voz in December 2012.[27]
The song's accompanying music video was filmed in November 2012 and premiered on 5 December 2012.[28] The video has a metaphorical theme, and features Lewis in a giant bird cage in a dimly lit room.[29] Some scenes show the singer in a shadow and darker settings, while others are light and colourful.[29] For most of the video, Lewis ponders about being able to escape her cage and experience freedom. At the end of the video, she realises that the cage is in fact unlocked and she is able to leave her confine, and leaves.[29]
Upon the release of Glassheart, "Lovebird" debuted on the South Korea Digital International Singles chart at number 73 in the issue dated 24 November 2012.[30] The following week, it peaked at number 20.[31] On the South Korea Download International Singles chart, the song debuted at number 68, with sales of 4,310, on 24 November 2012,[32] and peaked at number 22 the following week, with sales of 10,413.[33] In the United Kingdom, "Lovebird" was given an impact date of 9 December 2012, meaning it was only available to purchase as an album track rather than a traditional separate single release. In the chart week immediately after, "Lovebird" sold fewer than 600 copies, meaning it failed to attain one of 200 chart positions on the UK Singles Chart. As a result, "Lovebird" became Lewis' lowest selling single of her career thus far, and her first release to not chart in the UK.[16]
Over the six weeks with my ten students, we covered the basics of birding, which were put to the test during our last class, a visit to Dead Creek Wildlife Sanctuary in Addison, Vermont. During our first class, I asked everyone why they had signed up for the course. Unsurprisingly, many signed up because they needed the science credit, not because they loved birds. I could relate. I also took a birding course because I needed the credit, not because I liked birds, and look at me now, working for Audubon! Throughout the program we focused on birds that we encountered in Burlington. I wanted to start local to build their birding confidence. In the classroom, we covered field markings (wing bars, crests, spots, eye rings, etc.), bird songs and calls, and the habitats of Burlington birds. We then spent time outside walking through neighborhoods of Burlington, along the bike path, and through parks to see what birds we could spot and hear. 152ee80cbc
