About

“You have to believe in happiness, or happiness never comes… Ah, that’s the reason a bird can sing – on his darkest day he believes in Spring.” – Douglas Malloch

A bird’s-eye view. Free as a bird. Out on a lark… Most birds can fly, and because of their ability to transcend our own earth-bound domain we have revered and idolized them throughout our myth-making history. Their songs entrance us, their habits seem mysterious, and so we give birds a grand role in our stories: Creator, trickster, harbinger of life and death, embodiment of the soul, or source of wisdom.

But as parents, we can find common ground with birds. Even though a mother bird lays eggs, she is as fierce and vigilant a parent as any human. Birds build elaborate nests that perfectly suit the needs of their young; they protect their eggs at all costs; and when chicks hatch from those protective shells, they bask under doting wings.

There are not many tasks the two don't share, although Rhonda will make the more technical jewelry parts herself and Elijah is said to be the salesman of the pair. The two love to travel with their rescued pup Crash-dog, and cuddle with their cat named Puppy who has no tail.
