Tweety Bird (also known as Tweety Pie or simply Tweety) is a fictional Yellow Canary in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated cartoons. The name "Tweety" is a play on words, as it originally meant "sweetie", along with "tweet" being a typical English onomatopoeia for the sounds of birds.In his early appearances in Bob Clampett cartoons, Tweety is a very aggressive character who tries anything to foil his foe, even kicking his enemy when he is down. Tweety was toned down when Friz Freleng started directing the series into a more cutesy bird, and even more when Granny was introduced, however sometimes Tweety still kept his malicious side. One of his most notable "malicious" moments is in the cartoon Birdy and the Beast; when a cat tries to chase Tweety by flying and falls after remembering that cats cannot fly, Tweety says sympathetically, "Awww, the poor kitty cat! He faw down and go (in a loud, tough, masculine voice) BOOM!!", after which he grins mischievously. A similar gag was used in A Tale Of Two Kitties when Tweety, wearing an air raid warden's helmet, suddenly yells out in that same voice: "Turn out those lights!"
Titti (Tweety Bird, Tweety Pie o, più semplicemente, Tweety) è un personaggio delle serie animate Looney Tunes e Merrie Melodies della Warner Bros. È un canarino costantemente inseguito, invano, dal Gatto Silvestro. In Italia è stato noto, fino alla fine degli anni ottanta, con il nome di Titì.
Titti è, il più delle volte, un personaggio pacifico che passa felicemente la vita nella sua gabbietta o sul trespolo. Però, se attaccato o provocato da un gatto o da un altro avversario che vuole cibarsi di lui, può diventare vendicativo e dispettoso, arrivando persino a prendere a calci il nemico quando è ormai a terra. In molte delle sue apparizioni, Titti viene mostrato in compagnia di quella che sembra essere la sua padroncina di sempre, nonna Granny.

I return, each spring, to watch these little birds as they nest in a pavilion. I made a quick stop, today, on the way home from a meeting.
Next year, I'll be living a little farther away. Maybe I'll go back anyway.
It should be an Easter decoration for my window, but finally the bird looks very exotic :-D . I like it, but more than Spring remind me a jungle and summer...

I made this teapot tower for my friend Anne's birthday. Some of the pieces of china were bits she had given me over the years.
On Saturday morning I got up to find the egret still there and his wing badly dis-formed. I phoned the Sarasota Bird Sanctuary but no-one replied so I left a message in the hope that someone would come and get him/her and save his life at least. The one good thing which was positive was that the egret was eating because I witnessed it doing so. Sadly the Bird Sanctuary only phoned on Sunday and I could not find the egret, I looked all over our property. Then I phoned my neighbors on either side and one set told me that they had seen an egret too the day before and that the Bird Sanctuary had picked him/her up on Saturday, I was delighted to know that it was being looked after.
The Custard Factory complex is set in fifteen acres (60,000 m²) of factory buildings, originally constructed by Sir Alfred Frederick Bird (1849–1922), the son of Alfred Bird (1811–1878), the inventor of egg-free custard. The architectural firm commissioned to design the building was Hamblins. The architect may have been Augustus William Brenchley Macer-Wright who married Ellen Kate Hamblin, known as Jenny, who was the daughter of the man behind the architect firm's name. There is no positive evidence in Birmingham City Archive. At one time, a thousand people worked there.
After the Bird company's departure to Banbury in 1964, the buildings were redeveloped from 1992, in two initial phases. The architect for the redevelopment project was Birmingham-based Glenn Howells Architects. The redevelopment of the Custard Factory began in January 1992 when the project was given £800,000 as a City Grant Award. This public sector funding levered in £1.6 million of private sector investment for the refurbishment of 100,000 sq ft (9,300 m2) of redundant buildings, providing 145 units for use by artists, designers and communicators. The first phase created around 300 jobs, half of which were previously unemployed. By the completion of the Custard Factory project, it is anticipated that a total of 1,000 jobs will be created.
This bird gets its name because its beak resembles a clog (a Dutch shoe).
It feeds on fish and uses a "standing and wait" approach. The bird breeds in the dry spells and builds its nest that is constructed on a floating platform of vegetation, surrounded by water. This species is in decline due to habitat destruction; hunting; disturbance and illegal trade.
Found in Sudan and Ethiopia to Zaire and Zambia.
Diet - mainly fish
