Single details | |

Released: | 11 January 1985 (US release) 29 March 1985 (Dutch release) |
Related album: | Ice Cream Castle |
Label(s): | Warner Bros. |
Non-album tracks: | The Bird (Edit) (3:41) The Bird (Remix) (6:25) |
The Bird was the third and final single to be released from The Time's third album Ice Cream Castle, and was released about six months after the album. The single contained an edit of the track. The b-side, My Drawers, was also an edited version of a track taken from the album. The 12" single also included a remix of The Bird. The single was released in North America, the UK, and Germany. Oddly, the release is credited to "Morris Day & The Time" on the sleeve (with a picture of the original incarnation of the band with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and without Jerome Benton) and to "The Time" on the labels.
The single reached number 36 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Chart, number 33 on the Billboard Black Chart and number 6 in the Billboard Hot Dance/Disco chart.
