PLIGHT OF THE PARROT

The Rainforest where we once lived was lush and thick and green The trees they reached into the sky like none that most have seen. .

And in the tree's a hollow spot is where we both would go, For in the hollow, we would lay our eggs as white as snow. .

The forest it had plenty of food for us to eat And water holes where animals would play and swim and meet. .

One day as I was in my log I heard an awful sound, I flew out to the lookout branch to see what lurked around. .

A human with his nets and gloves, machete and a sack, Had come to steal our chicks from us, Oh how I want them back. .

And when he took our little chicks I heard a piercing cry, He dropped my chick from up above, I had to watch him die. .

And when he left, we went to see our hollow and our nest Our family was gone you see, our place where we would rest.
