Ah yes, the capercaillie. I watched a David Attenborough show that covered them. Apparently they're accomplished mimics. |

| I think they look pretty manly. Big chunky red eyebrows and a bushy black beard. |

| 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. |

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 was just thinking the same thing...awwwwww. 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 |

| I've always been fascinated by the antics of birds. I suppose it helps that they've been part of the family for almost sixteen years, too. I couldn't imagine domestic life without a pet bird. |

| 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. |
