A Bird in the Hand


Bananaquits are tiny, nectar eating birds of the Caribean.  Black and white upper bodies with bright yellow bellies, these birds are pretty and popular entertainers around docks.  Very easily tamed, they will eat from your hand, sit on your shoulder, or fly into your boat for a visit.

Sometimes they need a hand to find there way out again.

I guess the phrase, "Be careful the bird of paradise doesn't $%#@ on your head." doesn't apply in this case..haha
