Now I have a picture to put on the place cards I am making! LOL Whoa that is funny!!

4 Laurie C 11.23.06 at 8:37 pm

That bird is a dumpling. And dumplings are good with gravy.

5 Ellie 11.23.06 at 8:44 pm

That is the most darling little bird I’ve ever seen.

I want it T^T;;

6 Martha 11.23.06 at 8:51 pm

After listening to that clip, I realized teh birdie must be Italian or something. ;)

7 Andrea 11.23.06 at 8:57 pm

Is anyone else reminded of the exploding bird from Shrek?

8 Pablito 11.23.06 at 8:59 pm

IT’s so round, I almost want to hit it with a racket or something! :)

9 moosie 11.23.06 at 9:09 pm

How cute! But I wonder if the bird can actually fly!

10 SxualHrssmntPanda 11.23.06 at 9:10 pm

haha,that song is great,did we finally hear our glorious cuteologist meg?

11 Laurie C 11.23.06 at 9:10 pm

Here, little birdie, come and warm your feets in my macaroni.

12 Ellie 11.23.06 at 9:12 pm

That is the most darling little bird I’ve ever seen.

I want it T^T;;

13 Rosie 11.23.06 at 9:22 pm

i can just see it trying to fly away, and barely getting airborn. who’s singing there?

14 nun 11.23.06 at 9:24 pm

Is it pregnant

15 M'lyn 11.23.06 at 9:30 pm

My dad the biologist sez: it’s all gas. Birds fluff up with air between their feathers to retain heat. It’s just really cold where that poor ‘lil guy is, not that he’s eaten a lot.

Happy Thanksgiving anyway!

27 karen in toronto 11.23.06 at 10:00 pm

I’ll say it too — adorable song (tra la-la laahhh).

Here is an image of Dumpster(tm) kitten Handsome Stranger snoozing on Fiasco T. Peabrain. With twice-daily applications of antibiotic ointment his gummy eyes have cleared up beautifully.

30 Jen 11.23.06 at 10:22 pm

i LOVE LOVE LOVE fat birdies!

31 karen in toronto 11.23.06 at 10:24 pm

hrh.squeak, I changed it to public — does it work now?

32 Aubrey 11.23.06 at 10:29 pm

Wowee. This is definately not an unladen birdie – we won’t be computing its airspeed velocity anytime soon.

KarenInT: Yay! Snuggle Kittehs!

33 book_monstercats 11.23.06 at 10:52 pm

I suspect it’s fluffed its feathers out, but even so….

34 A thinker 11.23.06 at 10:58 pm

Chubby boidie! Happy Thanksgiving, Meg! And happy Thanksgiving, peeps!!

35 Jaeby 11.23.06 at 11:13 pm

i wonders if it can fly?

36 E. Collison 11.23.06 at 11:27 pm

I hear a distinct Urban Cowgirl (Moo-girl?) twang in that there audio file – and who was making the piggy noises, Meg or Chief Sister Officer?

Either way, ’tis QTE.

But this sweet lil’ birdie is making me think “ortolan” – eep!!!

37 chet's momma 11.23.06 at 11:39 pm

now i know how to pronounce “moishe,” which is good because it’s now MY THEMESONG!!!!!

44 ali 11.23.06 at 11:57 pm

that song is wonderful. that bird is wonderful. owwww….i feel sick from food.

45 fatal_fluffy 11.24.06 at 12:18 am

Jessica: I thought the same thing — “Do you want a meent? It is waahfer-theen.”

46 Lauri 11.24.06 at 12:29 am

Hahahaha….IIIII aaaaaaate tooooo moishe…..!

Karen, your kitters look like my entire family after our meal. What a bunch of snoozed out hogs we were.

And the Lions lived up to our expectations. *eyeroll*

47 firefinch 11.24.06 at 1:05 am

Golden-crowned kinglet! (see the patch of yellow on the head?) They’re cute, teeny little birdies, even smaller than chickadees.

48 C.S.O. 11.24.06 at 1:19 am

That was Meg, allllllllllllll Meg!

49 Lessie 11.24.06 at 1:19 am

I can’t decide which is cuter, the song or the bird. Let’s call it a tie!

50 Lauri 11.24.06 at 1:27 am

wOOt, firefinch, I was just going to post “Is that a golden-crowned kinglet?” Luckily, I read the comments first! ;)

Moishe, moishe, mooooiiiiissshhheee….I aaaaaaate too moooisheee!

Meg, you are such a diva! ;)

51 Heather S. 11.24.06 at 1:46 am

Is this the coconut or the swallow… I bow down to anyone that gets that reference…

52 Andrea 11.24.06 at 2:02 am

Heather S., I think it’s the coconut… they migrate at this time of year, see?
MP rocks.

53 pyrit 11.24.06 at 2:04 am

Golden Crowned Kinglet!
Hee, couldn’t resist. Real ones are sooo teeny. I rescued its’ close cousin, a ruby crowned kinglet, once. I got to see the ruby crown.

Andrea – Do you think Meg’s singing will have the same effect as Fiona’s?! Naaahhh.

Heather S. – I, I’m trying, gimme a moment. Don’t tell the answer.

Aubrey – (off topic comment sorry) I am loving the word ‘delegate’ now.

54 pyrit 11.24.06 at 2:06 am

Agh, of course Aubrey got it first.

55 pyrit 11.24.06 at 2:07 am

Oops, “Andrea”, I apologize, I read your name wrong!

56 Andrea 11.24.06 at 2:22 am

Nah, ’tis ok.
I think he’ll live, he seems to be pretty stretchy (like a feathery stress ball).

57 GreenEyedHawk 11.24.06 at 2:30 am

This bird reminds me of a story.

Back in the days when I used to travel alot, I spent some time travelling around Europe and ultimately ended up where all people in their early 20s end up when backpackign around Europe: Amsterdam.

I stayed in a hostel with a small courtyard around the back of it. On the door out to the courtyard (where there were many pigeons) there was a sign that said “Do not feed the pigeon.”

My first thought was that it was just poor english that ‘pigeon’ was not pluralized, but then I opened the door and stepped outside.

I was confronted by many perfectly average-sized, average-looking, nothing-to-write-home-about pigeons, and one gargantuan pigeon-zilla that was easily almost triple the size of the others. Then the sign made more sense. Oh. Just don’t feed THAT pigeon. Gotcha.

58 E. Collison 11.24.06 at 4:51 am

“That was Meg, allllllllllllll Meg!”

Indeed, C.S.O.! I’m not surprised, but I *am* wondering if she snorted wine through her nose before or (perhaps) after she finished the song? ;-)

59 Darcy 11.24.06 at 5:10 am

was that really you, Meg? you have a very nice voice!

60 Michelle 11.24.06 at 5:14 am

GEH: hahaha thanx for the hilarious story!

61 Laura 11.24.06 at 5:20 am

Can’t believe the final 2 lines of the song weren’t recorded:

“And, yet, because it’s Thanksgiving
I’m still going to each moishe more!”

62 shelley Noble 11.24.06 at 6:31 am

Um, xsqueeze me! That song was oinchie cute, Meg! Tho Sthweet!

63 Martha in Washington 11.24.06 at 6:56 am

I get Golden-crowned kinglets in my yard every once in a while. They are soooo cute!

I played the “I ate too moishe” song for my 12 year old son and he was rolling on the floor laughing. And yeah, we ate too moishe, too.

64 Amanda 11.24.06 at 7:30 am

Oh goodness, I just got back from my friend’s for dinner and I feel exactly like that little bird. Now my tummy hurts from giggling about Meg’s song! Too cute!

65 lurkertype 11.24.06 at 8:01 am

I am soooooooo glad I didn’t hear that till after I’d had several hours to digest, or it might have been messy! We aaaaaate too moishe as well.

Is there ANYTHING Meg can’t do, People?

66 lurkertype 11.24.06 at 8:02 am

67 hrh.squeak 11.24.06 at 8:33 am

GreenEyedHawk – heeeheeeheeeee, Pigeonzilla!!!

Ooooooh, I did, I did eat too moishe. But the soundfile crashes my stupid browser and I cannot hear the song . . . sadness unbearable .. . .

Karen in Toronto, it works now, thanks. What incredibly beautiful kitters!

68 Anita 11.24.06 at 9:06 am

The soundfile’s creating an error on my page, too; I can’t hear it, either. :( (

69 emokid 11.24.06 at 9:49 am

happy thanksgiving to ya ol! :)

70 Kate 11.24.06 at 9:51 am

Heehee :D Reminds me of the little finches that come to the seed feeders in our garden.

One day we had a siskin eating and eating and eating, then he just fluffed up his feathers, leaned against the feeder and fell asleep. Spherical birdlets are irresistible…

71 zosterops 11.24.06 at 12:06 pm

couple of days ago I saw a gull stealing a herring from a sea eagle three times it size. what would have been a decent sized lunch for the eagle was too much to even hold up in its beak for the gull. so, it swallowed it. hole. one go, no hesitations. the gull was transformed from the normal sleek flying machine into something more resembling a bulging zeppelin, but unlike the hindenburg, it actually managed to fly away. I still feel sure it bent the laws of gravity and the space-time-continuum to pull that trick off.

72 Subhangi 11.24.06 at 1:08 pm

LOL, Meg, that was brilliant! Nice voice.

Oh, look, PUFFERBOYD! (Or Fuguboyd, if you like.)

I’m such a diplomat. ;-)

73 Loris 11.24.06 at 1:18 pm

I think he’s saying: “I’m not fat, dammit, I’m just big floooofed!”

74 Sven 11.24.06 at 3:04 pm

Loved it!

75 Clotypus 11.24.06 at 3:07 pm

The boird is just puffed up to keep warm, people, not fat. *rolls eyes*

And did no one noticed the curled claw action going on????

76 Denise in Nebraska 11.24.06 at 3:51 pm

The pet parakeet I had when I was 12 would puff up like this, on a regular basis. I always thought it was “cute”….usually he would puff up, then appear to shake himself out of it. Then, he would preen his feathers. Birds are just the cutest animal there is. AND…they can FLY!! So cool, when you think about it. Post-Thanksgiving kisses to all the wee birds in America,

77 Laurie C 11.24.06 at 4:03 pm

Anybody ever see “Snookles”, a really funny cartoon short about a little bird and a baby dragon? It’s a classic like Bambi Meets Godzilla. The sound’s not great on this link, but here it is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HySMr8H2pVs

78 lemura 11.24.06 at 4:08 pm

What a lovely song! Perhaps Meg drank too moishe too?

79 Noo 11.24.06 at 5:16 pm

Look – it’s foot is collapsing under its own birdy weight.

80 Mandy 11.24.06 at 7:19 pm

That was the greatest song ever. I’m about to go sing it in the shower.

Yeah, it’s 2 p.m. and I’m just now showering. I slept too moishe.

81 michellemybelle 11.24.06 at 7:45 pm

I still feel like the little round boidie – and the song is stuck in my head! It’s a new Thanksgiving classic!

82 monca 11.24.06 at 7:53 pm

That cute little boydie is looking for ‘dessert’!

83 AuntieMame 11.24.06 at 8:11 pm

This one was obviously doing more than just warming his feets in the macaronis. Looks like he’s warming the inside of his tummy with a few, too.

(And yes, we *know* he’s just floofed up. Allow a little leeway for creative interpretation, People!)

84 eowyn_2 11.24.06 at 9:24 pm

Very very cute little puffball.

Italian? French? Sounded Asian to me. But hey, what do I know?

85 Livbert 11.24.06 at 9:46 pm

I had a feeling that that’s what you would sound like. Without the French/Italian thing going on there but YOU KNOW.
Doesn’t it look like that little birdy is trying to stand upright but keeps leaaanin’ back ’till THWOMP.
Ehehehehehe. ^_^

86 A Nonny Mouse 11.24.06 at 9:57 pm

AuntieMame – poking fun at obesity is seldom ‘creative’.

87 Anita 11.24.06 at 10:31 pm

WAAHHHH!!! The sound still won’t play!

88 morgan 11.24.06 at 11:33 pm

its looking up cause it cant look down
but how coot!!

89 Lauri 11.25.06 at 4:15 am

…..moishe……

90 theidlereceptionist 11.25.06 at 4:51 am

BRA.VA.

I lourved the snoring remixxed into the background…

91 Donna 11.25.06 at 6:26 am

He is a perfect circle.

92 MK 11.25.06 at 3:39 pm

It was actually more fluff than fat ;) . It could even fly away when touched.

93 Miss Bear 11.25.06 at 5:14 pm

That bird would do well in my two hands :) All warm and fuzzy and round! And funny story GreenEyedHawk^^^^^^ Up there. Hee hee.

94 AuntieMame 11.26.06 at 2:31 am

A Nonny Mouse

Oh please…

95 Puggy 11.26.06 at 7:09 am

This should be the bonus track on the Bootcuts’ album.

96 ceebs 11.26.06 at 5:01 pm

:-(
I clicked on the song link and it came up blank.
:-(

97 Theo 11.26.06 at 7:58 pm

Ceebs — again with the browser plugin issues. This one’s Quicktime (free from Apple).

98 Theo 11.26.06 at 8:01 pm

And Meg? You so silly.

99 Tiffany 11.26.06 at 11:23 pm

I LOVE THE SONG! hahaha. happy post thanksgiving!

100 samsuma 11.27.06 at 2:51 am

Now I get it…. Its French…The Accent is French…..All the stuff I don’t understand here is in a French Accent.
Great Voice on the Song too. Is that Meg?

101 Gryph 11.27.06 at 6:45 am

Cute song. Cute voice. Missed the cute while I was away. Now. If I could just stop listening to the song over and over.

102 Theo 11.27.06 at 2:54 pm

104 ka9q's wife 11.28.06 at 12:31 am

Moishe is (i believe) the hebrew version of Moses. I don’t think it sounds the same.
On the other hand i can’t get that song out of my head and it’s monday already.

Cutest. Song. EVER.

Can we say earworm?

111 Theo 11.28.06 at 1:11 am

Just because we CAN…

112 bats 11.28.06 at 1:31 am

I LOVE DAT SONG. I’ve been singing it for days.
My husband doesn’t like the song so much. Probably because I’ve been singing it for days.

113 Helene 11.28.06 at 3:44 am

That’s not a french accent, I have one and I don’t sound like that, I tought it sounded like a Japanese was singing…

LOL at the honk-shues in the song!!

114 Theo 11.28.06 at 3:48 am

Helene — it’s an OUTRAGEOUS Frawnsh Occent. Think “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.”
No offense intended to actual real people who speak with an actual real accent.

115 Nik 11.28.06 at 4:13 am

I suspect he’s cold rether than over-full, but that is definitely the roundest little birdie-morsel I’ve ever seen (except for a scopps miniature owl. That was just a fluffy baseball with eyes).

116 Puggy 11.28.06 at 5:30 am

Moishe is Yiddish for Moses.

The Hebrew is Moshe

117 ka9q's wife 11.28.06 at 8:33 am

Thanks Puggy. I knew it was something like that.

Nevermind.
