Climbing the irregular hillside where the air was hot, In the middle of the montane forest, The atmosphere was tropical and so too hot. I started my climb hoping for better fresh air, When suddenly I saw the most beautiful bird, Flying towards the upper branches of rainbow eucalyptus. It was not a small bird and was so colourful, Solid bright blue color for its wings And tail with split eye ring and bluish-white bill. Its wings occasionally display a red tinge. I was told that it is one of the most beautiful Birds called Blue Bird of Paradise, and I’m sure It must have descended from above with bliss. Suddenly it hung upside down, wondering why. It did not sing but uttered a soft buzzing noise. Slowly it fanned its feathers, an attraction to another bird. Soon I realized this was his way to start to mate. Silently I tiptoed down the hill and hoped He’ll be successful in his lovemaking.

What a lucid and meticulous description of the blue bird of paradise! I have seen this bird in Planet Earth. An eye catching view especially when one invites its mate by spreading its colorful plumes. Really enjoyed this poem, dear Victor!

Now that is care for the other species in nature. I enjoyed reading this one. If for a contest, it reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. I will have to look up Bird of Paradise. I bought a canon lily that was called bird of paradise, but it was disappointing according to the picture that they used representing it. Sara
