Birds of a feather

Green blue lorikeets screech in a flowering pohutukawa
Sulphur hued cockatoos fly in glittering shower formation
Pigeons swoop down from roofs then scatter
Mynahs bounce across grass verges, ratcheting out opinions
Rosellas dive bomb tree to tree chattering all the while
Ibis as old as the island, pelican asleep on a post
The ubiquitous seagull and sparrow…

Across the water Jumbo jets glide to earth then roar to a halt
A380s quieter, more graceful, frightful shedding of feathers
320s buzz up and down to various destinations
777s 330s 737s and other metal winged breeds
Painted tails to represent the flocks of many nations
