      The FBFC ‘silly song’
(To be sung to the tune of This is the army Mr. Jones by Irving Berlin given here below)


We are the FBF group
We love to slurp carrot soup
We spin around with hoola hoops
We are the FBF group

There were 3 birdies on a tree
The first was coppersmith barbet-ee
It has a naughty habit of gulping guava
Never goes near molten lava

The second was the greenest parrot
Its beak was as red as Delhi carrot
We hide and we watch it preen its feathers
Swinging when its hot and cool weather

The third was the red–vented bulbul
With a spotted tummy never so full
Visits every morn and we say wow!
It whistles a call I don’t know how!

Hum utathe hai rang birange pankh*
(*We pick up colourful feathers)
Must not treat it like silly junk
We click and hide and sniff
When bipeds come we are stiff
 We are the FBF group

Bulbul, hoopoe, peacock have lovely crests
Cardinal and sparrow have puffed up breasts
We sing, skip and trek on holidays
We spy on camouflaged eggs on the highways
mm, mm, mmmm, ....
