Crimson Rosellas

Unrivalled for their beauty of them one can say

These parrots i see often though not every day

Blue fringes on wings and mostly red, dark patches through red on the back, blue cheeks and long blue tail

Once seen and once heard to recognize again them you will not fail

The female lay white eggs in cavity high on old tree 

For parrots they do raise a large family

In avaries they are not hard birds to tame

Crimson rosellas they are known of by name

Less territorial than most birds are of them true to say

Blossoms, fruits and seeds their main food of the day

In forests they are seen every day of the year

And their soft chirping songs are quite pleasant to hear

Them for their great beauty one can only admire

And of singing their praises it does seem hard to tire.
