April Takes Flight…
An unkindness of ravens, a deceit of lapwings, a lamentation of swans…
A storytelling of crows.
This month, we explore a room in the Cabinet filled with rustling feathers and secrets chattered and chirped from the shadows. We’ll turn over objects and, perhaps, crack their shells to see what hides within. Or we’ll watch as they unfold their wings and perch, just for an instant, on the windowsill, talons chipping the paint, before they soar off for lands unknown.
There may be birds that carry messages of sorrow and mischief, ones who refuse to leave their nests lest anyone discover what’s woven in with the twigs and leaves, and ones who’ve seen, with their sparkling-jewel eyes, far more than we ever will.
Fly away with us, dear and curious readers, as we learn more of these cunning and watchful creatures.

Thank God! Birds and April are a few of my favourite things..
