Well it’s Manic Monday time. As usual, thanks to Manic Mo for hosting this. You can click the picture below to go to the Manic Monday site or visit It’s A Blog Eat Blog World for more information. Either way it’s great fun.
This week’s word is bird.
When I thought about this all I could think of, being from Hawaii, was the beautiful Bird of Paradise Flower.

Bird of Paradise
What I didn’t know was that there is a Bird of Paradise that is an actual bird. I found this on YouTube and enjoyed it so I thought I would share it.
So I learned something new which is always good. I hope you enjoyed this bird video as well as I did.


the flower is amazing!! I could picture it in flight
Until you said that I never thought of that but so could I
Thom — I loved the bird video, but that “blue smiley face” marking he displayed in his final dance would pretty much freak me out.
I’ve been considering your blog lately and chuckling to myself. Do you remember when you were hesitant to go and visit others? I take it you’re over that now!
I thought the same thing and I thought run lady run LOL
So much of this is all due to you. I would have never been here if you hadn’t taken an interest
Bird of Paradise flowers are so beautiful and exotic. I loved the video!
I thought the video was something else also. I have to agree with Quilly on this one
Oh dear.
I could almost hear her thoughts. And now I’ve got this song running through my head. “That don’t impress me much”
I love the flower though!
You sing it Shania
ROFL! Spastic little creatures, aren’t they!? I never knew!
Melli me either. That’s why I had to post it
Too funny
Wow, that’s so cool. I may have to try this Manic Monday business because I am brain dead each Monday.
Nessa…I’m brain dead every day
thom, i thought that video of the bird was absolutely fascinating. thanks for posting it. do you remember when you were here and we read on the runner on tv that ALL the birds in HI are in danger of becoming extinct???? wouldnt it be terrible for that to happen to that funny bird? and have you heard anything more about that? and the bird of paradise flower is just gorgeous. i enjoy your blogs so much… what a wonderful son you are…. your bird-brained mother on monday xoxoxoxoxoxox
LOL…bird brained mother I doubt it. No I haven’t seen anything in the news about it, either in print or on the tv over here. I loved that little video
Wow, the flower is beautiful, but the bird is kind of scary …
Thanks for dropping by and reading my daybook. Hope your week goes well for you!
