Anyway, this song is about...Whatever the listener wishes it to be about

As a metaphorical phrase, "And your bird can sing," might also be stated "all that and a bag of chips." Lennon is addressing someone who has seen it all, done it all, and has it all. But in the end, it is only personal connections that make you happy, not material possessions, fame, or achievement. So he is saying when you find those things don't make you happy, come look him up. ("I'll be 'round")
But on the literal level, this song is a dig at Mick Jagger. The word bird is English slang for a girl. In the mid 60's, Jagger was dating Marianne Faithful, who had charted with a cover of the Stones' song "As Tears Go By." Faithful is also reputed to be bisexual. So not only could Jagger's bird sing, but also "swing."
The Beatles and the Stones were rivals, but also good friends. Nevertheless, Lennon felt the Beatles were always a creative step ahead of their competitors. So while Jagger was busy patting himself on the back for all the fame and fortune the Stones were achieving, Lennon is reminding Jagger that he's still chasing the Beatles' tail.

Can't you just image Lennon listening to some bird (girl) yapping on and on,
And Lennon saying, Yeah, yeah and I bet your bird can sing too!
