There are many ways to describe women, comparing them to nature and its creatures is often the most effective way to evoke the eloquent images that many poets seek. However, birds are much more complex than the beauty they bring to the world. At first glance, one would think the poet is speaking to the physical features of a woman, how they remind him of the beauty of birds. But, the poet is also taking the time to describe her personality using the birds. The hummingbird is bold and confident, the mockingbird is caring and blissful, the Hawlk is dominant and powerful, and the western parotia does that dance for the woman he thinks is most worth the effort. The poet is speaking to the woman's beauty, but, he comments not only on her physical beauty but the excellence that is her personality.
