BIRDS ARE BEASTS !
Wearily he rubbed his jaw and slumped against the
gate,
"I've been drenchin' stroppy sheep all day - it's
damn hard yakka, mate! "
"Drenching sheep! You think that's hard? It's
really no big deal,
I could do the job upon my head - try drenching
cockatiel!
First you gotta catch the brutes, just one sight
of the net
And they're flying fast and fancy, as high as
they can get,
They view the whole proceedings as invasion of
their rights,
And when a cockatiel's unhappy, the nasty blighter
bites!
Fingers torn and throbbing right through thick
canvas glove,
Shirt re-decorated accurately from above,
Foot jammed in the water dish, head slammed by
hanging log,
Can't yard and muster these blokes with your
trusty kelpie dog!
It takes courage and a steady eye to deliver
medication
To a screeching little fury with a 'get revenge'
fixation.
Yeah, sheep can keep you busy and cows always
need attention,
But you risk your health and sanity when
cockatiels need drenchin'! "
