Birds...Why own a Bird?

Why own a bird? There's a danger you know,
You can't own just one, for the craving will grow.
There's no doubt they're addictive, wherein lies the danger.
While living with lots, you'll grow poorer and stranger.
One bird is no trouble, and two are so funny.
The third one is easy, the fourth one's a honey.
The fifth one delightful, the sixth one's a breeze,
You find you can live with a house full with ease.
So how 'bout another? Would you really venture?
They're really quite easy but oh, Lord the feathers!
With birds on the sofa and birds on your head,
And perches in the kitchen, it's no bother you've said.
They're really no trouble, their manners are great.
What's just one more bird and just one more cage?
The sofa is downy, the windows are splattered,
The floor is all spotted, the furniture dusty.
The housekeeping suffers, but what do you care?
Who minds a few poop spots and feathers everywhere?
So let's keep a bird, you can always find room,
And a little more time for the dust cloth and vacuum.
There's hardly a limit to the birds you can add,
The thought of a cutback sure makes you sad.
Each one is so special, so useful, so funny.
The vet, the food bill grows larger, you owe money.
Your folks never visit, few friends come to stay,
Except other bird folks, who all live the same way.
Your lawn has weeds, lots of dandelions will do,
But your weekends are busy, your cleaning never through.
There's bird food and treats , training and shots.
And entries and travel and motels which cost lots.
Is it worth it, you wonder? Are you caught in a trap?
Then that favorite bird says "gimme a scratch".
His look says you're special and you know that you will
Keep all of the critters in spite of the bill.
Some just for friendship and some just to breed.
And some just for loving, they all fill a need.
But winter's a hassle, the birds hate it too.
But they must have their baths just like you take them too.
Late evening is awful, you just shake your head
At the birds on their play stands who refuse to go to bed.
The birds and the bird shows, the travel, the thrills,
The work and the worry, the pressure, the bills.
The whole thing seems worth it, the birds are your life.
They're charming and funny and offset the strife.
Your life-style has changed. Things won't be the same.
Yes, those birds are addictive, and why we're birdbrains!!
