Robin has a very dark head,
but the feathers on his breast are red.
Goldfinch is a happy fellow.
On his breast, he's sunny yellow.
Sparrows hops around the town
in his suit of gray and brown.
Noisy Jay looks fresh and new
as if he'd just been painted blue.
Pigeon is a handsome sight
in blue and gray and sparkling white.
