Apparently we both wanted to be Superman

Boom! Kapow! Wham!  We're action packes

Belmont Public Library for Birds

The Belmont Public Library was created for birds.  Yup, that's right -  no humans allowed.  We are so jealous!  To read more about this story click here.

Special thanks to our friend Mollie, for sending us this story!

Every Hero has a Story!

It's an interesting topic this year, but I find that not only heroes have interesting stories to tell but many people do.  I know that Kyp and I have quite a few stories to tell about our adventures, that is part of the reason that we run this blog.  I mean who would think that two little birds would have so much to say.  

But I will admit that heroes probably have more interesting stories than we do.  Rescue dogs must get into some unusual and dangerous places to rescue humans in trouble, there are even cats who warn their families of fires in their homes, not to mention the wild animals who face danger every day.  But even the simple stories sound fantastic - like the dolphin who survived with an artificial tail, or the tortoise who befriended a baby hippo.  Those are heroes.  So maybe our stories aren't that heroic, but then again if someone is getting joy out of our blog and we're making someone smile on a day they feel blue, isn't that a little heroic.  

Who ever said that being a hero meant doing big deeds, maybe those of us who do little, quiet deeds are heroes too, maybe those are the silent heroes, the people you see everyday who make a little difference whether we notice or not.  That means that kids and birds can be heroes too.
