The feathered dinosaurs heard that your birthday commences in just a few short hours.
They send their best wishes, or at least their loudest ones. It can be hard to tell.
We all hope you have a nice birthday cake. I'm sure a certain troll also hopes that you will have cake. Or rather, CAKE! Bilbeaux wants in on the action, too. He carries his own spoon around just in case.
I think they are all gearing up for a sort of bird version of "Happy Birthday to Yooooou", although it will probably look more like "Time Warp" from Rocky Horror. But it's the thought that counts, right?
XOXO TO YOU, BARRY!

thank you Susan! That Billbeaux is so smart!
I love that comororant (?) too, gorgeous patterns on the wings.
You are a lucky man with all these celebrations and tributes coming your way. After all, you're a Taurus so deserving I'm sure.
You don't really know me, but Happy Birthday, none the less.
We all thought that this was some kind of cormorant, especially since we usually see it holding its wings out, drying them, like a Cormorant does. But it is an Anhinga. The Anhinga has those groovy wing markings while Cormorants are more solid colored.
Another Fun Fact™ about the Anhinga--it's nickname is the "snake bird" because it swims with its body UNDER the water and just its head on that long neck poking up. We saw one swimming like that and I swore it was the Bayou Ness Monster :)
Ohhhhhh nooooooooooo...
Happy Birthday you ol' dog. You're one of a kind and I'm proud to call you my friend.
Love you!
