Well the legend goes that he was really into eating all kinds of birds. Once on a tour the band stopped and he tried to chase down a yardbird to try to eat it and the band jokingly started calling him yardbird. He took the nickname and rolled with it.

Lol I thought that his father was ornithologist or he was interesting with ornithology. What a fool I am.

Can someone explain what is a "breakdown take"? Are they just rehearsals/studio practice?

"...the neighbours threatened to ask my mother to move once when we were living out West. They said I was driving them crazy with the horn. I used to put in at least 11 to 15 hours a day [...] I did that for over a period of 3 to 4 years." Charlie Parker - 1954 =))
