The Regent Parrot

The Regent Parrot, so pretty and bright,
It is so humble and never will fight.
Its wings are yellow like a sunset hue,
With black, green, red and a brilliant blue.
They live in the gumtrees, so russet and green.
With a sharp, orange beak, and eyes so keen,
It feeds on seeds and fruits are a treat,
Hopping across branches with nimble feet.
The Regent Parrot is found in the south,
Like a nomad it roams towards the river mouth.
Their voice is a squeak, but their singing is pleasant,
Flying the skies like a moon in its crescent.
The Regent Parrot, a true treasure of nature,
A bird so rare, it needs our nurture.
To protect and preserve, for generations to come,
A legacy of beauty, that should never succumb.
