Jambu Fruit Dove - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Jambu Fruit Dove - Lincoln Park Zoo



I am a male jambu fruit dove
With backside feathers forest green,
Just like the missus I so love,
But my breast- a pink patch be seen.
Me and the missus make a nest,
And hope to hatch some dovies young.
As parents we do our best.
Oh, such sweet cooings we have sung.
Some baby 'milk' we both do make
In our crops from eating fruit.
Mom and Dad duty for doveing sake.
'Jambu' is Malaysian for cute.

You come visit Lincoln Park Zoo,
This dove is gonna jambu you.
