If I were a Ruru
If I were a Ruru,
I would live in dark, quiet forests with rivers and ponds.
I would sore through the dark night sky,
flying silently looking down for my prey.
I would build my nest in dark
holes in old trees,
I would peck at the soft
grass on the ground picking sticks and bits for my nest,
When the nest is done I do my call at night until
the sun peeks up.
