Have you ever heard the clarity, of the bell birds song at dawn <br />its ring is so spectacular, such delicious sounds are born <br />next you'll hear the Tui's they'll be feeding on the flax <br />its white throat feathers warbling, neere a song it lacks <br />the 'wax eye's' love to twitter as they fly within arms reach <br />they tilt their heads and and chirp away, that's their way of speech <br />the lorikeets always in pairs, I've never heard their song <br />the beautiful colours they display, i know they'd sing along <br />the blackbirds and the thrushes those noisy miners to <br />sing in the day, and may i say, I'm very pleased they do<br /><br />Bob Gibson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-songbirds/
