It seems people in all cultures are drawn to them. TV news programs in Japan looove to show images of ducklings or other baby birds following their mothers.

I have two young blue jays who finally have shown up at my feeder, and if you think your cygnets are ugly - my goodness! There's nothing like a scrawny-necked, half-feathered bluejay to make a person laugh!<br /><br />I didn't realize you have an Etsy shop. I'll keep an eye on it now! I have a list of UK crafters, artists and knitters I sometimes buy from - not for myself, but for gifts for friends "across the pond". It's ever so much more convenient!shoreacreshttp://shoreacres.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-64210892978487240822012-07-14T08:20:06.142+01:002012-07-14T08:20:06.142+01:00Hi again...Thank yo for visiting in such an import...Hi again...Thank yo for visiting in such an important occasion of my life.25 years of a lovely wedding...Two years ago my husband had cancer...we thought we would never make it .
