I printed the poem Just a bird and framed it with pics of all my babies here is how it looks. I have to get some glue to glue birdie pics in place.

From time to time people tell me, "Lighten up, it's just a bird", or, "That's a lot of money for just a bird".
They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a bird".
Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a bird".
Many hours have passed when my only company was "just a bird", but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a bird", and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a bird" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you too think it's "just a bird", then you will probably understand phrases like "just a friend", "just a sunrise", or "just a promise".
"Just a bird", brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy.
"Just a bird", brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.
Because of "just a bird", I will rise early and look longingly to the future.
So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a bird", but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a bird" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a bird", but the thing that keeps me from being "just a human".
So the next time you hear the phrase, "just a bird", just smile, because they..............
"just don't understand".
