Robin
Today we associate robins with Christmas, and the bird always appears on Christmas cards. A common explanation is that the Victorian postmen who delivered Christmas cards wore red uniforms, and were nicknamed "robin redbreasts". So people associated receiving their cards with robins. The truth is probably much simpler, for the robin is most visible at Christmas, when its bright red breast, which the bird puffs out to keep warm, brings colour to drab surroundings, and the male begins to sing loudly to attract a mate. It is also in the depths of winter, when insect food is scarce, that robins are most tame. So robins have always been as much a part of the Christmas scene as snow and holly.The UK's favourite bird - with its bright red breast it is familar throughout the year and especially at Christmas! Males and females look identical, and young birds have no red breast and are spotted with golden brown. Robins sing nearly all year round and despite their cute appearance, they are aggressively territorial and are quick to drive away intruders. They will sing at night next to street lights.

Send a special congratulations to pregnant friends and family members with this fully customizable greeting card which has the words "A little bird told us!" on the cover followed by "It's time to add more twigs, layer it with down & make sure your nest is ready for your new arrival. Congratulations on the wonderful news!" on the inside. The name ‘cormorant’ has been derived from the Latin words ‘Corvus Marinus’, which means ‘marine crow’ or ‘sea raven’. Cormorants are also known as shags in some parts of the world. They have slender, sharp, hooked beaks which can give a nasty bite; a patch of bare skin under the mouth; and a stiff tail. All the four toes on each foot are webbed, which facilitates them in swimming and chasing fish underwater. An interesting fact is that Cormorants are used by fishermen in Asia to prevent other birds from grabbing their catch.

The Lesser Striped Swallow - latin name: Hirunda Abyssinica - builds a bowl-shaped mud nest with a tubular entrance on the underside of a suitable structure. The nest has a soft lining, and may be reused in later years. This particular one gave us many hours of joy as we watched her scooping mud from a river bank and flying back to add it to her nest, which she'd built around one of the ceiling lights at the lodge we were staying at in Botswana, Africa. If you've just found out that someone special you know is pregnant, then this pregnancy card is ideal. The wording on the cover says - "A little bird told us!" and inside "It's time to add more mud, layer it with down & make sure your nest is ready for your new arrival. Congratulations on the wonderful news!" Feel free to customize the wording to suit the event

This is one of my photo note cards of wild birds. This is a Myrtle Warbler, also known as the Yellow-Rumped Warbler for reasons that should be obvious in the photo. The yellow is most pronounced in flight. This beautiful, southern wild bird is elusive, and I have to lie in wait to get a good close up of this feathered friend.
