I like to think that the people who "put a bird on it" would take a shine to this Flights of Fancy Necklace.  For any of you thinking, "huh?," I'm talking about Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein, those kooky kids from IFC's "Portlandia."  I caught the episode featuring the iconic skit this past weekend, an experience that rejuvenated my love for our feathered friends.  Sure, the theme of that segment was that real-life birds aren't nearly as charming as their inanimate counterparts, a point brought home by the violent flock that all but decimates the gift shop at the skit's end.  Luckily, the bird in my bib bauble isn't angry.
