Sapphire Sialia

Deep sky-blue, a neat bit darker on wings, And a cool piece paler below, With calm white under it To feed and clean trees, from perches, Male Mountain Bluebirds hunt insects, Or toppingly while on the wing With their long wings, hovering flight, And marvelously quick dives, yet Females are lovely brown tinged with grey With cute tinges of pale blue in the wings Pretty Tail likewise the wings Andy and Sody are my old sparrow friends What do you do in so windy winter? I asked Sody said "her nest is the best" Andy agreed I gave to them a pouch of grains- Asian pearl millets, Some Indian fresh sesames as well as A sack of Indonesian berry with Chinese natural brown sugar
