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
