Desire/Acquire: Anthropologie Songbird Chandelier
Featuring finches, lories, and parakeets behind a delicate copper wire, the Anthropologie Songbird Chandelier ($798) is a bit gimmicky, but I can still definitely see its appeal. It would look great along with some busy, bird-themed wallpaper — like the one in Domino editor Rita Konig's foyer. But for a piece that requires a very specific design scheme, I certainly wouldn't spend nearly $800.

Steal of the Day: Perched Bird Candleholders
I've blogged lots and lots about birds, and even wrote a post entirely full of bird puns. So, it's no secret that I love dem birds! Some of you have expressed that you're not big fans of the bird trend, but I am, so I've decided to cover my ears and show you the Wisteria Perched Bird Candleholders ($16 for two).
Cute Alert! Live Nude Dancing Cockatoo
Oscar ain't your average cutie patootie cockatoo. She has a tendency to make peeps feel uncomfortable, rather than happy and sappy all over, but she can't help it. Our gal is incapable of growing body hair so she sadly looks like this evening's din-din — but not so fast.

Room Therapy: I Need to Find a Birdcage!
CocoAngel recently posted in the CasaSugar group with a decorating quandary, and I thought that you might be able to help her out. She writes, "I'm just finishing up redecorating my daughter's room and having trouble finding accessories, specifically a bird cage. She changed her bed spread to this birds and bird cages design (see left), so a black-wire bird cage would be a fantastic item to add to the room.
This Trend is For the Birds
Just after I finished my kitchen bird roundup a little birdie told me that the latest issue of Life&Style had a similar winged-creature feature.
I love some of their picks, especially the DwellStudio textiles. To see my riff on this feature, check out the widget below.
