A Migrant Bird's Perspective

Jets and planes have conquered the sky Just like us, fly over the deep blue ocean They have copied us, use avian highways But, why are the singles unable to fly? They have made mechanical giants Which will carry many of them. A pilot navigates the way They will sit in comfort Happily drinking champagne Once a pilot asked me, what's your Avian secret? Our eyes are large for a sharp eyesight In air and water, we see well. Tube shaped nose enhances smell Hooked bill is for gripping the fish while flying The feet at the back,propel us from behind when diving Narrow wings regulate, turbulence while flying The thickly dense plumage is for insulation The long wingspans produce aerodynamic lift We can read the sun and stars Parents teach us navigation skills Instincts, landmarks, all these help If you want to fly, this is all, I could say Now that we know each other well I have an important thing to tell As you know friend, over the time we have evolved well. Natural problems, predators and storms are manageable Human threats like power lines and hunters are the worst of all Destroyed habitats, changed environments, make it unbearable Turtle dove and many other sea birds now face extinction Please be kind. Save our migrants without restriction
