    This haiku is as cute as the choice of the bird for the day. Isn't it adorable <3

    Over here we have the Hereford Puffin. It's a bit of a celebrity in that it was randomly found inland in a garden. Made the local news. 😆

    These birds are just so darn cute. I did an art presentation/puppet show for my arts and crafts course in teacher education a long time ago.

    What a cute bird is the puffin! And another good quote and poem. Thx.

  • Got to love the puffins, Bill. Not least because they are adorable!
