As he made his way through the grass The tall bird the Sarus Smiled. “I’m going to visit my friend the Walrus He must be back from his ballet class.”

On the trunk of a tree where ripening mangoes hung The Great spotted Woodpecker with his sharp claws clung He pecked on the wood making a rhythmic sound of drumming And I wondered if the rest of his band would be coming.

Blackbirds.

In a green field dotted with cornflowers Hopped two Blackbirds, between the showers Sometimes they met a small mouse When it came out of his red house.

“Where shall I sit?” the Roller thought Lots of traffic noise he had fought, And away he flew With a flash of blue To a quiet green place That’s where he stays.

“Hoot Hoot!” hooted the owl as she blinked her long eyelashes with quickly darting up and down flashes “I’m looking for a meaty tasty dinner Doesn’t matter if it won’t make me any thinner”.

Six Bee eaters sitting on a wire, Just what I'll do when I retire. All in a row and looking so neat, Waiting for the bees so they can eat.

Sitting on a branch was a Green Barbet “I’m tired of this weather as its been so wet. Looking for an insect that I must soon get Its lunchtime, says the clock and I haven’t eaten yet.”

Kingfisher 

On a yellow kettle sat a White breasted Kingfisher Perched on a stump, only well do I wish her. “Just ate a tasty fish and I chomped it whole Now I’m sitting here and thinking- What happened to my soul?”
