Magpie Larks Or Pee Wees

A voice quite familiar to many and me The voice of the magpie lark or the pee wee Black and white mud nesting birds i do see every day From where humans are they are never far away Once seen and once heard birds you never again can get wrong They call out pee wee in their familiar song A cup shaped mud nest lined with grass mostly on branch of a tree The female lay pink speckled pale eggs at most only three When the male and female sing as a duet they are quite pleasant to hear And you hear them quite often every day of the year Of Australian birds among the better known The endearing magpie larks have a charm of their own They are birds every day one does hear and does see And due to their song many refer to them as pee wee.
