Some birds are elegant and graceful.
Others, not so much...
But I think they're all gorgeous in their own way.
These photos were sent to me by my friend Dominique. They were part of a huge slideshow. I selected the birdie images for this open thread, but there are other themes and I'll use them some other time.
Today I needed something to soothe my nerves and these lovely creatures certainly helped...
As a bonus, watch this nice birdie animation. It old, but very sweet.
