'Bird Noises' is Midnight Oil's first extended play, which was released on 24 November 1980 under the band's own independent label, Powderworks / Sprint Music.

'Bird Noises' reached the Top 30 on the Australian Singles Chart. The EP "continued the development heard on [their previous album], with 'No Time for Games' and 'I'm the Cure' being particularly impressive. It also boasted the anomalous, but delightful Shadows-like instrumental 'Wedding Cake Island'".
