what is up with me and this new infatuation for all things birdy?

Ok. What the heck? When did I suddenly decide that I must have anything with a bird on it? I'm not a bird watcher, and I don't ever want a pet bird. But for some reason, all of my decorating strategies (whether the house or my blog or stuff I painted at Seize the Clay) now revolve around creatures of the feathered kind. So that is what I would like to know today. (I think I did warn everyone that this blog would be really random, right??)
