So before I begin, sorry to spoil the surprise with the title.  The actual surprise was wonderful and had me gleaming from ear to ear.Gleaming and relieved that nothing exploded when I opened the box like in those James Bond films. (A Bird never dies, From Bird land with Love, Goldfinch, License to nest, The Bird who Loved Me, Drongos are forever, etc.)

I understand that the next Bond film may be called; Speckled Sussex   And this might be the next villain.   But now you can see why I was gleaming from ear to ear."I'M YOUR FATHER", ops, I think that's from a different film.

Thank you so much Sue, what a great idea.  You must have very tiny little fingers and a master command of the glue tube.  But wait what about the little Wisdom book.  Watch out for the next blog where the secrets are revealed.  Continue for the educational section.If anyone wants to get chickens, I'd definetly recommend a Speckled Sussex!  The Speckled Sussex was developed in Sussex County, England over 100 years ago.

Pros:

“friendly, curious, intelligent, great layer, Docile, beautiful, cold hardy, outgoing”

 

Cons:

“So curious they'll walk through the front door”

“can be obnoxious about getting treats”

PS Help, I'm having trouble with Octopussy.

I think there is a theme here for your wonderful drawing talents; James Bond Birds

LoonRaker, EagleEye, Fly and Let Dive, Dr. Bird, Birdfall, You Only Fly Twice, to name a few.  I think there are 24 films in total.  You could make it a great series!

Happy you liked the blog, the research was fun.  Sincerely yours, Prince Ruspoli’s Turaco aka Dean
