Are you sure he's dead? Looks to me like he's pining.

(Sorry, D. Someone had to.)

Yes. It had no eyes.

Oh no they didn't. You heartless monster. *Sniff, sob*

What a shame. Lovely coloured bird, cran.

Beautiful plumage... Doh! Sorry, Dubh.

Hey Cran.

That was the bluebird of happiness, that was.

What better thing for the Bluebird of Happiness than to join the Chior Invisibule?

I'm not sure Cran would appreciate the Monty Python references, as he says he doesn't watch tv or movies. I, on the other hand, believe the only reason this bird remained on its perch for so long was that it had been nailed there.

Yes. It had no eyes.

And to this delicious mix of Python references, let's add a dollop of sixties stoner music reference to increase the overall heavyosity.
