The beak on that bird is menacing. I've seen them on television. For a little and squat bird, it has a big beak. I can't recall the call that it makes. Thanks for sharing this well written work. Well done!

The beak is big but harmless. The call is hard to describe, I wish I could put on a recording of it.

This is an excellent entry for the contest, since it well meets the requirements. In addition the words are well chosen and original. The picture is a fitting complement to the poem.

Good one, well-done haiku. 5-7-5 perfect. I had to look up Australian asI wasn't sure of the syllable count. Great entry for the contest. Good luck in the contest, contest.
