Crossbills

14 Comments

 

With crossing bills, I crack a seed,

The sunflowers are best,

It’s easy for me, there’s no need

To put it to the test.

 

But did you see, my lady fair,

How I hang upside down?

Why don’t you smile then, if you dare?

It isn’t nice to frown.

Oh, now I see the game you play,

As if we’ve never met,

You hardly deign to say good day,

You’re playing hard to get.

    Sweet photos and little poem to go with them. I don’t see many of these birds, unless I am confusing them with a type of finch. Very cute.
