IDYLLS OF BIRD LIFE 
A FEW OF THE BIRD FAMILY 
The Old Bob White, and chipbird ; 
The flicker and chee-wink, 
And little hopty-skip bird 
Along the river brink. 
The blackbird and snowbird, 
The chicken-hawk and crane ; 
The glossy old black crowbird ; 
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’s at!
