Kagu Bird - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

I am a kagu bird and do
Spend most of my time on the ground
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
Looking for worms that be around.
I am the only bird kind that
Has nasal corns on nostrils so,
While pecking in my habitat,
Up my nose the dirt does not go.
I have powder making feathers
Helping me to stay clean and dry
When I do be in hot weathers.
Though I have wings, I rarely fly.

New Caledonia, my kind be.
The Bird House is where you'll find me.
