Birds Collective
A parliament of owls listens to
The bellowing of bullfinches
And the chattering of choughs
At a wake of buzzards
Resulting from a murder of crows
Witnessed by a watch of nightingales
Assemble a crowd of redwings
In a congregation of magpies
Perch a charm of finches
As a squabble of seagulls
Causes a murmuration of starlings
To startle a piteousness of doves
Amid an exaltation and ascension of larks
And a convocation of eagles
A host of sparrows
Gobbles a diet of worms
