Paradise Flycatcher

A white flower with a long tail,
glides in the morning breeze;
Like an angel from the fairytales,
he eradicates venomous flies.

Black crown he dons, Angry face he has,
But his immaculate look enthralls ;
His feathers as light as hydrogen gas,
make him float in the sky.

He sings, plunges into the air, 
performs mimicry and gymanstics,
in search of his perfect pair,
who has a very short tail.

Dark brown and delicate white
are the colors they boast;
Though the male alone has a long tail,
both are indeed the bird lover's delight

Indian paradise flycatcher is the new name;
Called as an Asian paradise flycatcher before,
As Shakespeare said, what's in a name?
They already achieved fame
