A FEW OF THE BIRD FAMILY 



The Old Boh White, and chiphird; 



The flicker and chce-wink. 

 And little hopty-slcip bird 



Along the river brink. 



The blackbird and snowbird. 

 The chicken-harvk and crane; 



The glossy old black crow-bird; 

 And buzzard down the lane. 



The yellowbird and redbird. 



The tom-tit and the cat; 

 The thrush and that redhead bird 



The rest's all pickin' at! 



The jay-bird and the bluebird. 

 The sap-suck and the wren — 



The cockadoodle-doo bird. 

 And our old settin' hen!
