One of the things Australians delight in
Is the beautiful male bird called the fairy-wren
The splendid fairywren is a passerine bird
in the Australasian wren family, Muluridae
It is also known simply as the splendid wren
Western Australia just calls it the blue wren
Like other fairywrens, the splendid fairy-wren
is notable for several peculiar behavioral whims
Male wrens pluck pink or purple petals
and display them for courtship to the females
The splendid fairywren mainly eats insects
and supplements its diet with seeds it ingests
Sometimes they have a mad look on their face
They’re a sneaky bird they like a good chase
A more beautiful bird I doubt many can compare to them
Is the brilliant blue Australian bird the splendid Fairy Wren
