And the Egrets all too rare!

Black-necked Storks with wings so spacious;

Lyre-birds beautiful and gracious,

And the Magpie Lark so spare!

Honeyeaters, Red-capped Robins;

(In and out like fiery bobbins!)

Wrens of ev’ry sort and hue,

And the great Kingfisher blue!

Whipbirds, Rails and Orioles;

Bronzewing Pigeons; Pratincoles;
