On Superb Lyrebirds

An amazing bird 'twould seem fair of him to say
I have seen the male superb lyrebird on his mound in his courtship display
With his lyre shaped tail above his back a thing of beauty to see
For as long as i live the memory will be with me
A leading mimic of the bird World his own music he create
The musical sounds in his own tunes of his neighbour birds he does imitate
The song of the grey shrike thrush, the magpie and the pied currawong
Just some of the birds he imitates in his song
A bird of the high eucalypt woodlands in his range his kind are rare
Superb lyrebirds are amazing,  mimics beyond compare
In south eastern Australia  in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria in a few woodlands they reside
That they are rare and quite remarkable of them cannot be denied
Pheasant sized birds that one does not see often at least not every day
In the undergrowth of the high woodland from eyes hidden away.
