We've been offered free lessons at this party. If we want to learn to bungee jump, we are to bring a cat to the party, but if we'd like to learn to fly, we are to bring a bird. If we want to learn both, then we should bring a cat AND a bird. Well, I cannot see myself bungee jumping, but I wouldn't mind learning to fly, so I am bringing a bird. This is the Mountain Blue Bird which is the state bird of Nevada AND Idaho. I'm such a bird brain!! I should have brought the state bird of Texas, the Mockingbird, because Texas is the destination for this card!

Your bird is sweet, your background is fabulous. I'm with you, no bungee jumping, thanks very much. Do you know, I don't even know what a mocking bird looks like - I should go and rectify that now. I do know that US goldfinches are not the same as European ones - ours are smaller and more colourful.

Well, I am glad you brought the bluebird. ONe of my favorites but we have the Eastern Blues here in NJ. This bird looks right at home against that wonderful background.
