The Fairy Wren

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
