Noisy and garrulous nature
A prosy and prattling caw
Belies the most lovely of plumage
Of the sweetest bird I ever saw
The prominent blue-crested jaybird
Is not from a pigment, but light
Structured uniquely its feathers
Amazed how the blue flashes bright
A clever, intelligent mimic
With a curious fun disposition
They’ll happily steal shiny baubles
As if on a sneaky spy mission!
So noisy, so bold and aggressive
We welcome their unruly charm
Quite happy its distinct impulsion
Protects other creatures from harm
Cyanocitta cristata bromia
They flit between mischief and good
How I attend to your loveable chortle
And would join you in play if I could!
