exactly. It's like "Whoa..."
Nifty!
I think the bird's name is actually "Wee H"
...Would I be weird if I say, I like this? 'Cause I kinda do. :o\ *shrug*
...Does "wech" mean "which"? Curious. :o)
...Thanks for sharing!
...Blessings :o)
This is very touching. It must have been some bird!
I'm feeling guilty for just burying ours in a shoe box!
