Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Human Friendly - LP Zoo

A golden breasted starling, I

Do be in the Bird House, I do,

In the Free Flight zone on the fly

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

When human visitors I see

Come strolling through my habitat,

Being curious as I be,

I fly for a closer look at,

Not fearing humankind at all.

Very close by I choose to perch,

And chirp out a welcoming call,

While I do my human research.

Come visit me and you will find

Close encounter of a bird kind.
