One of my favourite little birds

Wow that is tiny.

Weeny..is it old Gillian?

It's Victorian, was my grandmas.

Sweet Item Gillian :)

I think I would pass on the ice cubes at your home if you asked me if I wanted ice in my drink! lol!
The bird might be made of brass or bronze? very popular alloys for statues and such.

Cicada is actually safe in resin. Gift from the kids (they know me so well!)

Ahh yes the cicada an insect of the order Homoptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha, in the superfamily Cicadoidea, with large eyes wide apart on the head and usually transparent, well-veined wings.

I wanted to be an entomologist when I was a kid, was always collecting bugs. Still haven't grown out of it I guess!

Yes Gillian I was like that too. Collecting bugs and placing them in recycled glass jars. My problem was I kept forgetting to punch holes in the lid!

Bad boy!
