"Sun Bird" is an intermezzo composed by Kerry Mills in 1908. [Mills, "Sun Bird" (Sheet music).] Thurland Chattaway wrote lyrics that appear in some later publications. The chorus is a love song from an Indian warrior to Sun Bird, an Indian maiden: [Chattaway, "Sun Bird" (Sheet music).] :"Oh, pretty Sun Bird,— just whisper one word—":"To guide me on my way day by day 'neath the prairie sky;":"And when I'm dreaming— 'mid camp fires gleaming—":"My love star shines for you, all for you, my sun Bird.":"(repeat)"

The song has been recorded numerous time in many different styles.
