| Blue tits are so cute and fuzzy. We used to have them nesting in the garden every year until the orchard behind our house made way for a massive, ugly building. |

I used to want soft toy birds when I was growing up, I always found birds adorable. I never did manage to track down this soft toy Robin that I so badly wanted. /memories |

|  Legend. As well as hilariously being named 'Gobbles' (which has an 'alternative' meaning up here in TCK/Jay/Jaster/Rum Land), he was the old mascot of Nintendo World Magazine's tips pages. No idea why. |
