My beauty has inspired songs by many composers
With my long lithe legs, and bright orange beak
I can make the boy birds loose their composure.
(Ok, that's a terrible rhyme, but in my defense, when I saw how this bird was posed, I thought it looked like one of those scenes from the old movies where the woman hitchhiker shows some leg to get a ride!)
