A Talk Between a Farmer and a Bird

A farmer praised a bird for its capability
Of eating up all the insects upon the crops:
Fantastic! It certainly contributes to high yields
Of crops enough for everyone a finer year

The bird listened but didn't conceive appropriate 
Yielding a few words plain and insipid:
Eating up insects is not something we favor
"Eat as you desire" is just us a habit

Provided you guys wipe out worms by insecticides
We would not have any a piece of advice
As a fact as everyone knows, birds drink and eat
When no insects could capture 
We, our birds, eat your crops for sure
