Flying Pickpockets - LP Zoo

We hammerkops do watch, we do,
As human visitors walk by
In the Bird House, Lincoln Park Zoo.
Tiz opportunity - that's why!
We are a bird that watches so
We might see stuff that's out and loose.
Humans are careless, doncha know,
And easy pickings we deduce.
When stuff we see, then down we swoop,
And stuff in beak, we fly away,
And take and add to the nest scoop.
Our collection does dismay.

Since the area is free flight
We can grab stuff that's not held tight.
