The Raven, the Rook and the Crow

Cousins in flight The skies their place Black and grey plumage With a different face This genus Corvus The colour of night Passerine order A wonderful sight A pest to many Nuisance to lambs Natural progression In natures plans As we roamed the lands Viewed these birds Helped their demise Incredibly absurd Colonisation has rid These important birds From the following islands The sadness incurred New Zealand, Hawaii And Greenland too They are called a murder Does that remind you! http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/nature4.php
