The Lyre Bird

Collect all pages-cleaned and sized to make
 a miniature book for your dolls.

Assemble a mini doll sized book: Left, is the Lyre Bird's illustration and verse. Visitors can collect all the bird illustrations and verse from "Bird Children" to print and construct a small book of verse for their dolls. Simply drag each png. into a Word Document, print, cut out all of the images the same size and staple the pages together at the left edge. Squeeze out some white school glue along the stapled edge of the pages and attach a cardboard cover. 

Lyre Bird's an Australian child,
She lives in lonely places wild,
And builds upon the rocky ground
The queerest nest which can be found.

"The early bird catches the worm" is an idiom referring to the fact that a person might get away with something or gain more momentum if they treat a circumstance with early intervention.

"He or she is an 'early bird'" is a similar idiom to the previous but in a more literal since of the phrase. This idiom refers to the fact that a person is an 'early riser' or that person doesn't sleep late into the morning. Birds often wake just before sunrise, therefore, they are early risers.
