Mrs. Oriole had dreamed of a country home, but this fixer-upper was for the birds. (82)
“I hate to grouse, but I’m worried about living in a condo.”
“You’ll love it. Birds of a feather flock together.” (113)
“I don’t mean to question your judgment, Jay, but isn’t it a bit run down?”
“It has great potential and a bird’s eye view of the clearing.” (138)
“You’d have to be thin as a sparrow to fit through those doors. Face it, baby, you are one round robin.” (105)

OH, Grandma, you outdid yourself today with your foursome. I counted six bird sayings in your four stories. Awesome. Thanks for the four chuckles this morning! It’s hard to pick a fave, but if I had to choose, I’d pick the last one…It has two bird-related weight sayings.

All very funny complaints. You did great!
That house generates complaints, I can tell.
But, … This house is all ‘original,’ that counts a lot.
(Well, at least for antique cars it does.)
