There are two verbs in the sentence, "hopped" and "sang", both are intransitive verbs.
Explanation:
A transitive verb is a verb that has an object.
An intransitive verb is a verb that doesn't have an object.
Breaking the sentence into two sentences with one verb each, it's easier to see:
"The little bird hopped about."
--The verb is "hopped", the word "about" is an adverb that modifies the verb.
"The little bird sang."
--The verb is "sang".
