Eurasian Collared Dove – Bird Talk

Just wait! I’m bringing you a snack,

It’s really tasty corn,

If it’s not good I’ll take it back,

As sure as you were born.

 

Oh wait! Don’t run away so quick,

You’d think I want a date,

I like you, but it’s not a trick,

If you would only wait.

 

Well, look at me, I’m such a man,

You’ll see what I can do,

I’ve learned to dive because I can,

And all this, just for you.

Can you believe this guy up there?

He must be simply nuts,

But on the other hand I swear, 

He’s got a lot of guts.

Steller’s Jay

*Named after Georg Wilhelm Steller, a German naturalist, who was the first European to record them in 1741.

I know I’m pretty, but beware,

My beak is tough as nails,

If any challenger would dare,

My bet is that he fails.

 

I get first choice of all the food,

You wait there on your post,

It’s not that I am being rude,

I take the best and most.
