Cage-Free and Full Flight Wishes on this National Bird Day


[WARNING:  There is a gif later in this post which depicts flying movement which could affect anyone who gets easily dizzy with height/movement - including myself if I look too hard!]


What's the word today?  [besides being Florida Tom's birthday! - Happy Birthday, Tom!]

It's National Bird Day, time to recognize and appreciate the feathered members of our earthly community.  And who do we know who is all about the Bird?

This guy!



If he didn't used to tweet pictures of peacocks, then he was tweeting and WhoSay'ing pics of marine life.

Like that time in 2015 when he tweeted this:


 

The India Blue peafowl - of which the male is a brilliant blue - perhaps reminiscent to him of this man's blues:



And then there was that time Austin was interviewed by former co-star Hilarie Burton and she asked him (at 01:01) who his power animal was and he replied...


Awwwww, vintage Austin!!! Don't you miss these days?  It was so wonderful to watch this video moment today. I loved it!  Here's to you today, Austin, and your love for birds.  

The northern mockingbird - state bird of Texas

Look at this colorful lil' guy - the kingfisher!




And probably the most majestic bird of all, the eagle




But I bet probably still can't compare to,

Awwww, doesn't that take you back?

Not only Austin when he used to be so quirky on his Twitter and Whosay, but Mr. Jake in his Buster Brown clothing days. They likely don't make those kind of bird shirts anymore in his Older Man bracket, do you reckon?
:*(

It's not often we get to have these kinds of fun posts, so I'm going to grab the opportunity, you bet.

Started this post awhile back, but as usual, I get to looking at pictures on the 'net and vids or whatever, and before you know it...

And how about some John Denver and Morris Day and the Time? It's not everyday you're going to get a playlist with the both of those singers in it. LOL! Aw, I love both of those songs - The Bird and Fly Away.
