The Scarlet Ibis
national bird of
Trinidad and Tobago
Caribbean Isle
the scarlet ibis
it is a tropical bird
bright red in color
it has a long neck
and it's bill is long and curved
feathers are black tipped
feet are slightly webbed
it's legs are long and skinny
with a wide wing span
beak is used to probe
in mud and shallow water
where it looks for food
you should see it fly
with its long neck extended
as if it's gliding
it's a good fighter
fights with beak legs and it's wings
protects its offspring
scarlet ibis is
one of the most beautiful
of bird family
they're gregarious
rest in colonies in trees
they travel in flocks
united they are
we can learn a thing or two
from these awesome birds.
