The folk song "Tai gražiai paukšteliai čilba" (translated as "So Beautifully the Little Birds Chirp") was recorded by the renowned Lithuanian scholar Jonas Basanavičius in the late 19th century. Sung by villagers from Dziegcioriai village, this piece reflects the deep connection between Lithuanian folk traditions and nature.

The song’s audio and related materials are preserved in the Lithuanian Folklore Archive at the Institute of Lithuanian Literature and Folklore (Lietuvių literatūros ir tautosakos instituto Lietuvių tautosakos archyvas), ensuring its enduring accessibility and cultural significance.
