Ha, yes you are one of the ones who remembers my original name on PN! I am still a birdlady but love so many other things now too because of PN!

If I had more hair I'd want it to look just like that :-) Beautiful birds and a wonderful spotting, Jemma.

these were in some sort of dispute.. Raising their hair at each other.
