Whistlers Supreme

A blackbird sized brown and grey bird of humans not shy a grey shrike thrush is whistling on the trees nearby Once seen and once heard their kind you never again do get wrong They do have a beautiful whistling song Familiar birds with ways of their own To most country people grey shrike thrushes are quite well known These feathered minstrels of Nature quite pleasant to hear Their beautiful whistling so melodious and clear Unmistakeable in their whistling of them one can say Birds I do not see often or hear every day Just after sundown on the nearby trees The sound of their whistling is carrying in the breeze One can say of them they are whistlers supreme Their equals in the bird World are few it does seem.
