Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look today,
At a word we all know, in a simple way.
“Bird,” you see, is quite a treat,
A creature special, wonderfully sweet!
The dictionary tells us, clear and bright,
It's part of
Aves
, a wonderful sight!
(Think “a-ves” like singing, light and free!)
That’s the class where feathered friends you see.
They belong to
Chordata
too, you know,
Animals with a backbone, watch them grow!
Warm-blooded creatures, that's what they are,
Keeping cozy near and far!
And feathers soft, a colorful hue,
Wings for soaring, skies of blue!
Most birds lay eggs, it’s true, you see,
A little nest for their young and glee.
So “bird” means a creature feathered and bright,
Flying through the day and night!
Do you have any questions? Let's discuss with care,
Understanding nature is beyond compare!
