Beloved beaks
Who did you choose as your favourite fictional bird?
Last month we asked who your favourite fictional bird was. Some of you agreed with our conclusions, with votes for Kevin and Hedwig. Many loved Pingu and Woodstock too and we have to agree that they’ve both great choices!
One favourite was Donald Duck. We have to ask – why him? Was it a nostalgic choice? Was it because he always walks around with no pants on? Because this makes him kind of a weird uncle to look after Huey, Dewie and Louie, right?
Congratulations to Deborah Joy Pearse and Katie Duncan, who won our new Lighthouse Feeder. Thanks to all those who entered – keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram pages for more great competitions.
