Plains-Wanderer Bird

Silent and well camouflaged,

Plains-wanderer is unique,

Full of curiosity,

It sits like a statue,

Hoping to be hidden from danger.

Very few remain,

They are a wild species,

Almost extinct,

One of the world’s rarest birds,

In need of protection.

Living in open lands,

Dry, native, opening onwards,

Soil is rich red and brown.

Only a few plains-wanderers are left,

They are in danger,

Foxes and birds of prey,

They are so small, under threat,

In need of protection.
