Super wise
With great big eyes
A regular head turner
I’m lightning quick
Fat mice I pick
A watchful and quick learner!
I’m super cute
One can’t refute –
My great and graceful beauty!
And every night
With great delight
I hoot a lot – so sue me!
Around the world
There’s just one bird
For whom all need to root
So come and see
Head bobbing me
The owl is a hoot!!!
From wing to wing
We’re amazing
The longest bird across!
You don’t know size
Until your eyes
Have seen an albatross!
When they expand
My great wingspan
Uses technique sublime
I fly all day
In such a way
My wings flap not one time!
A true bird lover
Would discover
This bird that’s enormous
To come across
An albatross
Is to behold what’s gorgeous!
If you’d inspect
This bird’s diet
You’d find we eat insects!
It’s not absurd
We are just birds
What else would one expect?
And yet we know
With our red glow
You shall remember us
Across the world
There are few birds
So lovely and gorgeous
And once we pair
Our lives we share
So it’s a HUGE first kiss!
One love; one match
So eggs can hatch!
We are Scarlet Ibis!
When creatures die
And say goodbye
What happens? You may wonder…
And yet I know
Just where they go
To the belly of a vulture!
For, yes, indeed
This bird will feed
Upon the newly dead
You’ll know it’s me
When you can see
My strange, ugly, bald head!
Feeling blue?
Then what to do
Is step outside that door!
With blue display
I’ll make your day
A bird all can adore!
You know what?
Throw me some nuts!
That’s what I’m looking for!
As I will say
The blue jay way
Is best with nuts galore!
Have you heard
Of all the birds
That robins are the best?
You’ll know it’s me
When you can see
The bird with orange chest!
I bring the spring
I love to sing
I am a U.K. symbol
So be impressed
As orange breasts
Are awesome –
It’s that’s simple!
Listen for the owl
For owls love to hoot
Atop a tree
I’ll search and see
Then swoop and scoop my loot!
I am wise
Have great big eyes
A watchful and quick learner
There’s no dispute
This bird is cute
A regular head turner!
So if you see
Atop a tree
This bird of the night skies
Be real nice
Point out the mice
I’ll take them by surprise!
