Avian Flu Prevention

I'm constantly amazed at how smart these birds are.

With all the talk of the Avian flu, Awii has begun covering his nose when he sneezes. I don't even do that when I am at home alone, so I have no idea where he picked it up.

Likewise, we don't have a TV, and Klee hasn't been outside since our semi-regular walks over a year ago, so I have no idea where she learned to give the traditional Japanese "peace" sign when the camera is pointed at her.

You will be seeing the birds pretty frequently as part of a little scheme I have developed to buy Tomoe's time. In return for help or advice on my project, I post a bird photo for her to look at from the office -hopefully giving her something positive to look forward to in those outrageously long hours she spends there.
