"It spread out its wings, fitted them carefully into place again, ducked its head for a moment, as though making a sort of obeisance to the sun, and then began to pour forth a torrent of song." (123)

       The bird here is symbolic for the freedom that Winston and Julia have when they're away from London. Without telescreens, the Thought Police, or The Party around to watch them, they are free to be together and do whatever they want. The song underscores that feeling, and show the love that is forming between them as well. The tone created by this passage is a joyous, relaxed one- which contrasts strongly with the bitter, almost mechanical feel of the rest of the novel. This is to further illustrate the feeling of being in love.
