Challenge Title: Bird On!
Hostess: Carla (Covington Crafter )
Keyword: JUN16VSNL
Date: Saturday, June 18, 2016 - 7 PM EST

Did you know that badminton is a summer Olympic sport? �With shuttlecocks traveling at up to 400 km/h (249 m/h), badminton requires fast reflexes from the players and the audience�s full attention. It has been in the Games since Barcelona 1992. Men and women compete in individual and doubles events, and mixed doubles." Rio 2016 Olympic

Here are some more fun badminton facts. The conical feathery balls, shuttlecocks, the players hit are also referred to as a birdie. And, �bird on� is a cautionary call that a birdie has landed on the playing court from an adjacent court.



So, land some birdies in my court! I'll take lovely birds in their natural habitat or silly birds doing silly things or something in between. Go for the gold with birds engaged in any Olympic sport, especially badminton!
