common as muck
Sparrows shouting and black birds too
How I wish I was in the uruweras with you
Only the thrush is mellow and inventive
If somewhat clichéd
The tui speaks with nectiferous eloquence
If only I could heat their jazzy solos
Sung over the song of the bell bird
And the kokako's spotlight riff
DOC calls the rosella a bloody Aussie invader
But their ding resonates evoking sympathies
It's not their fault they wear tropical shirts in a temperate land
