Familiar Australian Birds

Peeowit pee wee is all they ever say
The magpie larks i  hear and see every day
Dainty black and white birds of town parks and countryside
Mud nest builders known and loved Australia wide
In cup shaped mud nest high on fork of tree
The female lay pale spotted eggs of five to three
In Spring their nesting borders against aerial predators they defend
For protection their young on them does depend
In the backyard often see them walking around
In search of slugs and insects that they find on the ground
Familiar birds to many and to me
They are also known as mudlark and pee wee
I see and hear them singing every day
Peeowit pee wee is all they ever say.
