Brilliant Birds

beaked passerines have the best kind of toes
one pointing backwards, three pointing toward nose
ideal shape for perching on twig or a post
skilled fliers diving for left over toast
most feed on insects and bird seeds of some kind
excellent singers and many have a brilliant mind

I'm not familiar with this bird, Caren. Must not be indigenous to my neck of the woods. I have a friend who has a Macaw. It says, "Scratch my back!" But when you try to scratch its back, it bites you! Funny.
