THE RED WATTLE BIRD

Every morning the visitor comes,
GAK he says GAK.
He prances his umber plumage
with cream trim
and flashes his blushing cheeks.
GAK.
That’s a real nervous twitch there birdy.

With his sickle beak
he reaps the nectar from the grevillea flowers,
hmmm strawberries and cream.
GAK he cries GAK.

Yep, I can just picture the scene, Neville!

Love "reaping the nectar" with his "sickle beak"!
