The Greenfinch The greenfinch had to build a nest, She thought I'm going to do my best, She gathered up some twigs and hay, T'was early in the month of May, Two days later it was done, Now she lazes in the sun. |
The Chaffinch The chaffinch he looked really cool, Until he fell into the pool, I picked him up and dried him down, And rubbed his little feathered crown, He smiled at me as if to say, I'll come back another day. |
The Great Tit There was a great tit on the wall, He was having quite a ball, He danced, he sang, he jumped and hopped, And suddenly he stopped. I looked around to say ''What is the matter? Then I saw a grey cat had caused him to scatter. |
Birds Birds build nests To lay eggs and have a rest, Birds fly around And eat food from the ground. |
The Mistle Thrush I saw a Mistle thrush, Says I "he's in a rush", Then a lady appeared with a brush And I knew why he was in such a rush. |
A Wren I thought I saw a wren, It lived in Denn, but then found out it was a hen, After all I'm only ten. |
|
The Great Tit The great tit flew up into the sky, As I was eating apple pie, I looked at him and him at me, Then he landed on my knee, Then I said ''a piece for you,'' As I cut my pie in two. |
The
Robin My little robin redbreast, Sitting on the branch. My cat is going to prance So you better do a dance. |
The Blackbird There was a blackbird on the birdtable, He tried to eat but wasn't able, I threw a crust for him to eat, He chirped back at me for that wee threat. |
The Robin Robin Redbreast on the gate Over he hops to be my mate Bobbing up and down I threw him scraps on the ground. |
Blackbird Blackbird, blackbird on the tree. Come to me and you will be free I will feed you some seeds. |
Birds I love the robin and the thrushes, I feed them everyday Willy Wagtails, rooks and magpies, Come to our garden to play. |
The Thrush Oh thrush, little thrush How sweetly you sing You perch on your bush Without having to care about a thing. |
