Bird Sayings....

Post by Ginene » Thu Oct 03, 2013 9:41 am

Hey guys...I would like to make a sign for my bird room, that has a really nice saying or quote about birds. I would love to hear any and all suggestions. Thanks so much :)

Kidding aside, hanging on my wall is a cross-stitch I did when my kids were young:

One that I'm considering is..."A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song."
