Notes About The Poem

1080 is an efficient, economic, environmentally safe, and species-selective poison. The poison 1080 has been used for more than 50 years to control rabbits, foxes, wild dogs and feral pigs. But what they don't tell you is its effects on the native Australian Wedge Tail Eagles that eat the baited dead carcasses, resulting in their demise! 

Fly Like An Eagle:

Gallant is the Eagle Flying high towards the Sun Keen with deadly sight Viewing from heaven above Take flight my spirit with you. ~~~~~~~~ Together we'll fly Only landing to renew In a tall Oak tree No need to build an eyrie For the sky is our domain. ~~~~~~~~~ On land and in sky We are united as one Until our last breath A feathered quill in my hand Imagination runs wild.

When I was a young lad on the farm I would sit with my back on an old gum tree with a wedge tail perched in it! The longest wingspan for an eagle in the world was a wedgie! They are my favourite bird! Thanks, Tim /|\
