Page 140. Paij-ree plays four notes on a flute, over and over, and a gull goes nuts. So the gull is named after the song: Eb-F-F-A.

At the bottom, Daniel Colson wrote the tune down in red. On a real staff. With a treble clef.

Before #GitHub, Daniel was a composer and played the viola da gamba. So of course.
