Papageno is a character from Mozart’s Opera, The Magic Flute. He enters the scene arrayed entirely in the plumage of birds. He describes his happy life as a bird-catcher and his longing for a wife, or, at least, a girlfriend (aria: “Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja”).

His aria is sung by Walter Berry here: Papageno – Magic Flute
