Night Parrot

Thought to be extinct, but still not quite
He only ever takes flight at night
Yellow and black speckled
Or black and yellow freckled
One mystery
Could go down in history
The Aussie Night Parrot
Thought to be dead
But still they tread
In the great Aussie grasslands
The flapping of soaring wings
This is when he sings
His final call
Where he ends once and for all
When the fox comes
