I collect bird houses, spoons from different places (my youngest daughter travels around the globe and brings me a spoon from every place she has ever been, and my other kids do the same, although they haven't gotten to be travelers to the same degree...) and I also collect bird figurines. I have hundreds of spoons, haven't counted them recently, and haven't ever counted my bird houses or birds either. I just love birds--the songs they sing, and how pretty they are.
