On Australian Magpies

To the warbling of the magpies in the dawning gray
Many Australians do wake for to greet the new day
Australia's best known songbirds that sing every day of the year
Their warbling every Australian does regularly hear
In city and town parks and gardens and in the countryside
The crow sized black and white magpies are familiar to people Australia wide
On their breeding Season they regularly sing at night
On a moonlit evening their songs a source for delight
Territorial and fierce in defence of their territory
Magpies are birds one often hear and see
Unmistakeable in their appearance and their warbling song
Once seen and once heard one never again get them wrong
Of the birds of Australia among the best known
Magpies are quite territorial with ways of their own.
