The Australian Magpies Do Sing Every Day Poem by Francis Duggan

The Australian magpies do sing every day
To proclaim their borders this their natural way
And often i do hear them singing at night
Their flute like notes nice to hear in the moonlight
The Australian magpies or piping shrikes birds every Australian know
Black and white birds as big as the average sized crow
In their breeding Season their nesting territories with aggression they defend
Even humans they do attack none to them is a friend
On all days and all Seasons their flute like notes one does hear
They even sing on the wettest and coldest day of the year
Distinctive in their ways and loud warbling flute like song
Once seen and once heard birds one should not get wrong
Most species of songbirds only sing in the Spring
But the Aussie magpie every day of the year does sing.
