Larry's Gallery:   Superb Fairy-wren (1/9)

PASSERIFORMES: Maluridae

Malurus cyaneus  

I admire the pert Blue-wren
And his dainty little hen--
Though she hasn't got a trace of blue upon her;
But she's pleasing, and she's pretty,
And she sings a cheerful ditty;
While her husband is a gentleman of honour.

C J Dennis (1876-1938) - from "Bird Song"
