Birds of a Feather

BBC America has a series called Planet Earth. In the second season...Planet Earth 2 there was a segment on Cities and how animals adapt to cities. One segment involved Bower Birds. These birds use whatever they come upon....bits of plastic...trash....anything flashy or shiny to make an inviting nest to attract the female. A particular set of birds found a red puffy heart that they put in their nest. When one bird wasn't watching, another would steal the heart for his nest. As I watched the segment I had a palm to forehead moment.....Oh My Goodness.....I am a Bower Bird.

This doll is called Birds of a Feather. Each on of the birds in the skirt and the hat has something different in its beak. Something that will be used to create a very unique nest.
