After that, come the owls (especially the snowy owl), cockatoos and the eagles.
Tas, I think you are having a lend of us.
They are as colourful as flowers - and - we know how good you are there.
Print out your own birdie!
You'll have to enlarge this to say 200 or 250% otherwise it's going to be too small and fiddly.
There's dotted fold lines and the glue goes on the little blue asterisks.
You could, if you felt adventurous, photoshop it to look like a blue wren. 
I'll send some over, with the rain.
There is one catch - the local hawk may want visiting rights.
I have to report what I think may be some baby yellow tailed black cockatoos in my vicinity. Large bush, tall treed area about 150 metres away from here, and they are up high.
They sound like 80grade sandpaper being rubbed across the grain of hardwood
But I do like finches/canaries and their chattering and especially their whistling.

I've just had a flock of 25 or thereabouts seagulls fly lazily past. Things must be too wet for them at the tip.
Nowdays the only whistles I get are from tea kettles.
Where are you situated Latina?
I'm on the Central Coast NSW, fairly close to the lake that is feed by the tides of The Entrance. Few black swans there, with pelicans often using the thermals near the surrounding hills.
Ecar.....seagulls getting wet
Nothing like a wolf whistle from a building site......ah those were the days.

I spent the last couple of years buying toys, here and there, then putting them in boxes, taping up the boxes and a) putting the boxes "somewhere", and b) forgetting what's in the boxes.
Every so often I'll unearth a box and send it off to young couple I know, who have kids.
It's not exactly presents under the tree on Christmas morning, more a random assortment of whatever would fit in the box, but I haven't heard any complaints from them, yet.
