This is quite a bit of fun.  My husband and I did a couple of birds and found it very interesting.

If anyone wants to "play", here's the link - http://www.allaboutbirds.org/page.aspx?pid=1189&ac=ac

I couldn't find this at first, and I figured others may not be able find it either, so this link takes you to where you can "play".
