Superb Fairy-Wren Propaganda:

Very blue and black, and little pompous babies. Holds it's tail up like it's the king of the castle, although I do not believe birds have a sense of superiority, so its tail stays up for I don't know what reason(maybe balance?), but it's cute and cool. A very superb birb, as the name suggests.

And: Just adorable backyard buddies. I had a family at an old house I lived at so can I tempt everyone with an adult male loaf and some fledglings??
