BIRDS

The girls have been learning about all kinds of birds. It helps that there are an abundance of them around here and that Mom keeps them well fed. :) There's one feeder that even Oscar loves to watch. It's hanging right outside the kitchen window and it's a favorite of several kinds of birds. 
The other day, we were were eating lunch and Ava excitedly said, "Look! There's a Red Chested Roast Beef!!!" 
This still makes me laugh out loud. :) Obviously, there is no such thing as a Red Chested Roast Beef but what I think she meant to say was Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
