The Poobahs at Opus Gluei decided on a bird theme (its called Tweet, chirrup and trill) and the other entries are so cute. Go and look (or if I get the Mr Linky thingy working, they might even be here on the bottom of this post). Mine are an odd assortment on the avian theme......... I started with the bird cage and the little silver dove and added a chain to hang the cage from, then I went hunting in the Busy Room. First to light was the emu family and their very disapproving stares. I don't think they like being on a card so I apologise to them right now. I love their double feathers and the stripey chicks, and they have a penetrating red glare that follows you. Their beak is sharp and unforgiving too. 
Next was a scrap of a Kay Nielsen illustration for "A Thousand and One Nights". There's a whole other story about how I came to discover his work but I'll leave that for another time. In the original, the flamingoes float in deepest blue so I made it the night sky. The last is a protective mother bird, except that I think she should be sitting on the eggs, not watching them from a branch.See what other people have done......
