 Aztec Macaw

Macaw birds in the south new world

Were long worshipped in Aztec lore.

Through the skies feathered wings unfurled,

Showing stunning colors they wore

In blue and green and red and gold.

The winged creatures of nature fine,

Symbols for humans to behold

As messengers from the divine.

God Quetzalcoati deemed macaw,

Colorful plumage and beaked face

Proclaiming to Aztecs the law

To be followed in time and place.

The Aztec empire is long gone,

But macaw birds continue on.
