(Parrot.) “Those are Cuckows, I think—the impertinent Pests!—
So, Ladies, I’d have you look well to your nests.—
But tell me, Miss Pye, who is that whipper-snapper?”—
(Magpie.) “Who is it, Poll Parrot!—Not know the Didapper!
A good Diver I’m told; but he surely must fail
In his walking, (pray look?) who has legs at his tail!
He knows his weak side, it should seem, for he makes
A great fuss with his fishing in rivers and lakes.”
(Jay.) “What great stupid bird have we here?—Can it speak?”—
(Daw.) “The very same question just popp’d to my beak.”
