Christmas Tree Bird Count
Laura at SomewhereinNJ offered up a challenge to count the number of bird ornaments on your Christmas tree.
Mine is paltry but I've only been "into" birds for a year or so. Perhaps it will grow over time.
The first bird is my glass bird with a feather tail. It clips on to the branch. It's very sweet.
The next one is the most seasonal. A Partridge in a Pear Tree.
And last, the most spectacular bird ornament . . . my peacock
I love the way he is looking over his shoulder at his spectacular tail in self-admiration! They do seem the most vain of birds.
So, that's it. My Christmas Tree Bird Count is just three but it's a start!
Thanks, Laura, for a great idea!

In trying to find a source for the peacock, I found these interesting options:

In trying to find a source for the peacock, I found these interesting options:
- Merck's Family Old World Ornaments
- Bronner's (I've actually bought things from them and been happy with them)
- Christmas Forever Peacock Ornament (this is pretty close but . . . )
- Their other Bird Ornaments
- Swallow's Quest Peacock Ornament
- FOUND IT!!! On eBay, of course! Let the bidding begin . . .

LOL!
I love that peacock's tail - don't think I have one like that.
I should actually count the number of birds on my tree - probably at least 25, but they are hard to photograph.
Thanks for sharing in the fun!
Okay, WHERE did you get that peacock??? I want one!
I bought it at the boutique where my mother-in-law works. They sold out (I bought the last two!)
I searched and finally found it on eBay! {click}
I edited the blog post with some other interesting bird ornament sources I came across.
