@TheMagicKingdom02 First of all, it isn't 'bird' it's 'jailbird'. That's someone locked up in jail/prison. Next, why would a girl be in a prison with men? Also, Elvis didn't write it, Leiber & Stoller did. Not sure what they were thinking; probably that the general public wouldn't make anything of it. But those are some pretty suggestive lyrics.

"Bird" Is an old slang for "girl" or like "young girl" so obviously "jailbird" is a girl in jail.
Elvis was not gay or bi or anything weird like that. He had a wife and he sang a lot of love songs about girls.
