The Three Muses Challenge - Birds of a Feather

My sulphur crested cockatoos have been altered within an inch of their lives. I have overpainted them and given them new legs . The ephemera comes from collage sheets by Lisa's Altered Art, the music was Googled and the lady bird's legs are by Fiddlette of Scrapartist.

    "altered within an inch of their lives"??
    What? You mean Australian birds don't normally look like that??
    I love the sense of humour behind this!! Also, that's one of my favourite songs and I'm humming it now and tapping my feet... before long I'll be dancing round the kitchen!

    Oh my god, Marie, this is unbelievable! What a creative mind you have, I love this! All the tiny details are so beautifully and carefully done. I have to just admire your creative and talent.

    I couldn't participate your challenge this time, because I just didn't have anything on my mind. So I just enjoy others work this time :)
