Ooh, wow. That's so evocative. All I can say is check out dafont.com in terms of fonts - and I think that zagzagael's idea for the word choice feels really apt for this poem. But, then again, depends what it means to you! If you did have an image of the bird too - the mastery of the thing! could work well.
