She's equally tall and follows his lead
The red on his head does extends to his beak
But hers doesn't go past her eyes on her cheek
The rest of their feathers are all white and black
With a checkered flag all across their back
The most crucial spot; that resembles jelly
Is the reddish splotch that grows on their belly
Their beak is large and extra long
A whack from this sabre is extra strong
They travel together, always in sight
Ready to eat and ready for flight,
Their song to each other is more like a squawk
Not like a songbird, more like a hawk
Show them a peanut and they'll show you a trick
One moment it's there, the next they will nick
Though larger than most, they're a beautiful pair
Whether pecking or poking or afloat in the air
Just keep nuts and suet and berries close by
And your feathered friends will drop from the sky.
