The birds who do sing on all Seasons of the year
The warbling flute like notes of the Australian magpies every day i do hear
To be vocal to their kind a natural thing
One can say of them they are born to sing
Territorial and aggressive with a strong pointy bill
These black and white crow sized birds smaller birds are known to kill
In courage and boldness they surely do not lack
In their nesting Season humans they even attack
Often seen and heard feathered Australians with ways of their own
To be aggressive to neighbors of their own kind they are even known
For territorial borders with other magpies they often do fight
Magpies at war with their neighbors is a common sight
On their breeding Season they often do sing in the night
And so pleasant to hear them singing in the moonlight.
