In an English suburban garden

\nThere’s a robin in the garden singing songs to pay for bread
\nThere are sparrows fighting hard for yet more seeds
\nAnd the blackbird on the garage sends his songs right through my head
\nThat’s the way he pays for all his fam’ly’s needs<\/p>\n
There are blue tits on the feeder till a great tit takes his turn
\nBloody pigeons always try to steal the lot
\nBaby starlings hunting insects have an awful lot to learn
\nWhile the song thrush won’t agree to leave his spot<\/p>\n
There are magpies, there’s a jackdaw and we sometimes see a jay
\nAnd a woodpecker or two as they pass though
\nOnce a partridge broke his journey and politely said “good day”
\nA few years back we saw a hoopoe too<\/p>\n
An garden set in England is a paradise for birds
\nI wish I could do them justice in this medium of words<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
