I’m called a Kinglet.

Have you ever seen me?

I make funny sounds.

Tsee, tsee, tsee, tsee, tsee.

I’m the tiniest bird

that perches in trees.

When winters are frigid,

I try not to freeze.

My gold crest looks flashy

and feels quite regal

although I’m not famous

like the bald eagle.

I love tasty insects

and forage non-stop.

Wait, a caterpillar!

Yum. Yum. Hop, hop, hop.

At night I tuck my head

in feathers so deep

and huddle with my friends

so I can find sleep.

Sometimes a squirrel leaves

his nest in a tree.

It’s empty. I’m so cold.

Please don’t tell on me!

Although I’m tiny,

I feel like a star.

Just follow your dreams,

And you’ll go far.
