 Victoria Crowned Pigeon - LP Zoo

Victoria crowned pigeon, I

Am a Bird House addition new,

And I'm quite a good looking guy

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

The largest of the pigeon kind

We're up to thirty inches long.

Bluish gray feathered we're designed,

And call out with a whooping song.

Native to New Guinea we be

Ground dwelling and in food pursuit,

In pairs on forest floors where we

Do walk in search of fallen fruit.

I am easy to spot no doubt.

My feather crested head stands out.
