    These roosters are among our favourites as they are so colourful.  You will notice that one features a clock. The clock no longer works but Janine and I decided that it had to remain in our collection.

Birthday Card For Mom - Creative Monday Blog Hop

    My mother celebrated another birthday on September 1.  We tried to lift her spirit as it wasn't easy without 2 of her children, Janine and Sutcliffe. I like to make cards so I got out some cartridge paper, pictures of birds and leaves and created this card.

Bird Figurine Series - # 3

These are toucans noted for their huge beaks!

     Janine and I got these toucan figurines from our mother.  Toucans can be found in tropical forests extending from Central America to the Amazon valley. They got their name from the word 'tucano' in the language of the Tupi Indians of Brazil.  Their huge bills are not heavy as they are filled with a honeycomb-like cellular bony tissue.  However they are strong enough to crush the fruits that they mainly feed on.
