Wherever Tailorbirds need rest
They simply start to build a nest.
With can-do spirit positive,
They sew themselves a place to live.
Their needle beaks can tailor leaves
with thread of spidersilk that weaves
a lovely home, quite safe from weather
where three small eggs grow up together.
Caregiver, builder, architect:
A Tailorbird parent earns respect.
