Barnabus and Bixby - LP Zoo

Barnabus and Bixby do be

Staring down at a keeper who

Snaps a picture for all to see

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

Two eastern screech owls be the pair.

Barnabus, a red phased male, and

Bixby, a gray phased female, share

A habitat where they, firsthand,

Watch all that's happening nearby,

Especially the humans that

Oft are amusing to owl eye,

As they visit the habitat.

When there's something to tell to each,

Barnabus and Bixby do screech.
