Superb Fairy Wrens

A little bird,

Collar of brilliant blue

Head too,

Announcing!

I'm looking for a mate,

Chocolate, coffee and cream coloured          

After I find her, one, two or several,

After mating with one, two or more,

Eggs hatched, little ones flying,

I will moult,

I will shed my breeding plumage, all the brilliant blue,

I will assume her colours

No longer seen as a Blue Wren

I am properly a Superb Fairy Wren,

A splendid little bird.
