Sammy, my sister's conure, screams defiance at all the birds he hears outside. Not a romantic, like your bird in this.

This has a really nice storybook quality to it. The rhymes are simple and you have nice variation (near rhymes sometimes, instead of slavishly sticking with dead-on rhyming) that prevents it from coming off as stilted. A very pretty tale in the nicest of ways.
