The Bird Lover's department is dedicated to one whom the birds have brought much joy to over the years, Viva Hooker, who is 99-years-young. Outside her kitchen window is a bird bath with a landing rock in the middle of the bath. She faithfully keeps it full of fresh water with food nearby. It is a wonderful place for her feathered friends to play and cool off on those hot summer days. Image of Viva at 97-years-old.

It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds.
~Aesop
You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair.
~Chinese Proverb
