Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Kagu - LP Zoo

I am a Kagu bird and do

Spend most of my time on the ground

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

Looking for worms that be around.

I am the only bird kind that

Has nasal corns on nostrils so,

While pecking in my habitat,

Up my nose the dirt does not go.

I have powder making feathers

Helping me to stay clean and dry

When I do be in wet weathers.

Though I have wings, I rarely fly.

New Caledonia my kind be.

The Bird House is where you'll find me.
