Grackle and a Blackbird
Sitting in a tree
F-E-E-D-I-N-G.
Maybe have a bug, maybe have a spider,
All taste yummy
When they're crawling round in side'ya.

I am an immature male Red-winged Blackbird,
When I grow up I'll have red and yellow bars on my wings.
My sister looks nothing like me,
But we both eat spiders and crawly things.
