BLUE GROSBEAK is a plush bird with finely detailed features, bright colors, a bit plumper than expected, and with a complex sounding warble that is activated by gentle squeezing. Just outside our front window we have a bush, and two bluebirds built a nest in the bush. The daddy blue bird did the "wild thing" with the mommy bird, and the result was three eggs, and from the three eggs hatched three baby birds. The three baby birds grew, and grew, and grew, until each was the size of the BLUE GROSBEAK AUDUBON PLUSH BIRD. Eventually, over the course of three consecutive days, the three baby birds left the nest. And so, we developed a severe case of "empty nest syndrome." To mitigate this problem, I purchased the BLUE GROSBEAK AUDUBON PLUSH BIRD and put it into the abandoned nest. But first, I bought three jars of rubber cement, and poured the rubber cement here and there over the sides and interior of the abandoned nest, so that it would not disintegrate. And so, a day after the rubber cement dried, I placed the BLUE GROSBEAK AUDUBON PLUSH BIRD into the nest. At about the same time, there was the annual Fourth of July parade, and I picked up a few small American flags that were mounted on six inch poles. I inserted two of these American flags into the front of the nest, poured a bit of rubber cement on the next so that it would contact and secure the six inch poles. And so, that is that. From time to time, my neighbor ambles across our driveway, and we admire the BLUE GROSBEAK sitting in the real nest. Or anyway, I admire it but my neighbor might think that I am an eccentric.
