Budgerigar

Blue, green, purple and yellow
Feathers like a soft pillow
Fluffy as a cavoodle
Beautiful opal jewel
Flying free in massive flocks
Chirping around the clock
Happy tired wings resting
On sleepy branches nesting
At first light when all is mute
Snack on sweet nature’s fruit
Welcoming the dawning sun
Another day of fun
Travelling from tree to tree
Far down in the valley
Across wide extensive plains
Waiting for life-giving rains
High and low, they fill the air
They glide without a care
Their beauty is there to see
From outback to the sea.
