'''BIRD'S NEST'''. AKA - "[[Put Out the Fire]]." Scottish, Canadian; Reel. Canada; Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island. A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Dunlay): ABB (Shears): AA'B (Perlman). Dunlay and Greenberg (1996) find that the second part of "[[Ratha Fair]]" bears some resemblance to the first part of "Birds Nest;" similarly, the first part to "[[Feargan]]" (in Kerr's) is also close to the first of "Bird's Nest." Angus Chisholm and Winston Fitzgerald paired the tune with "[[Bonnie Lass of Fisherrow (The)]]" in recordings which have become classic. Gaelic words for the tune were obtained from Lorrie MacKinnon from Archie Neil Chisholm:
<br>
<br>
''Tha nead na h-eoin anns a'choille'' (x3)<br>
''Far an d'fhuair an smeorach.''<br>
''(The bird's nest is in the woods'' (x3)<br>
''Where the thrush is gotten.)''
<br>
<br>
''Sources for notated versions'': fiddler Angus Chisholm (1908-1979), learned this tune from the Gaelic singing of his mother (Cape Breton, Nova Scotia) [Dunlay & Reich]; Peter Chaisson, Sr. (b. 1929, Bear River, North-East King's County, Prince Edward Island) [Perlman].
