Crested Wood Partridge - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

A crested wood partridge, I do
Spend most of my time on the ground
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
This bird does like to strut around,
Showing off my fancy plume that
Does protrude from top of my head,
And brightens up the habitat
In silky fine feathers of red.
Rollulus rouloul is the name
That my kind got scientific,
Thanks to our red crown of fame.
What better name could humans pick!

A strutter on the ground I be.
There's no pear tree perching for me.
