A bird is in a tree wearing a hat and playing the guitar in a nest. Two birdwatches watch him from below.
The bird is playing the guitar. Birds can't do that.
Why is the bird playing the guitar?
I can usually identify a bird by the song, but I think he's doing a cover.

A play on the terms "song" and "cover". Usually, to identify a bird by its song would mean to identify it by its bird call. But here, the bird is playing a literal piece of music. The joke is that such a bird could also be identified individually by its unique artistic composition style. However, this bird is doing a "cover" song: "cover" also has a double meaning --- "doing a cover" in the musical sense means to be playing a different artists music (which would hinder stylistic identification). "Cover" can also mean "obscuring", i.e., "Doing a cover" could also be referring to the bird hiding its face in the hat.
