The Songbirds Poem by Bob Gibson
The Songbirds
Have you ever heard the clarity, of the bell birds song at dawn
its ring is so spectacular, such delicious sounds are born
next you'll hear the Tui's they'll be feeding on the flax
its white throat feathers warbling, neere a song it lacks
the 'wax eye's' love to twitter as they fly within arms reach
they tilt their heads and and chirp away, that's their way of speech
the lorikeets always in pairs, I've never heard their song
the beautiful colours they display, i know they'd sing along
the blackbirds and the thrushes those noisy miners to
sing in the day, and may i say, I'm very pleased they do
Nice one a dawn birdsong is one thing that would be sorely missed
Really glad to be introduced to your native birds Bob and your verse so clearly pinpoints each of their characteristics in song etc.... made me feel I was there listening with you - thanks Bob.....10 from Fay.

It would be a wonderful experience listening to all these birds at dawn. I have CD of Australian Bird calls and it is simply beautiful. I love this poem with so much information about their calls Bob and thank you for sharing. 10 Karin Anderson
