This one's for the birds

 FANCY FEATHERS BEAUTY SALON

 
Fancy Feathers Beauty Salon,
Will surely make you crow.
If you’re feeling ruffled,
Fancy Feathers is the place to go.
 
All the birds are raven.
The parakeets are sending tweets.
“Check out fancy Feathers”,
The parrot mimics and repeats.
 
If your coat is beat and buzzard,
Fancy Feathers will make it look new.
They’re easy as magpie to find,
Just tern left on Cardinal Avenue.
 
Let them give you that perfect plumage,
Their treatment gets deep down.
After a good fluffing and preening,
You’ll be be ready for a flight on the town.
 
They’ll brush your comb,
And polish your crest.
They’ll tame rooster tails,
And make sure the turkey is dressed.
 
They can highlight your goldfinch,
And brighten the jays.
And for all the bald eagles,
A fine selection of wigs and toupees.
 
You’ll leave singing a happy tune,
From a makeover, happiness springs.
Fancy Feathers will groom you right,
and never clip your wings.
 
Their stylists are ready to serve,
They’re chirping at the crack of dawn.
Birds of a feather flock together,
At Fancy Feathers Beauty Salon.

And we humans find it very creative and entertaining as well. Had better stop crowing about it and do the bird like Jane suggests.… Bird, the bird… bird, bird, bird.
