That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for December 29, 2014

Because of Obama, the box of Cubans she was stashing aren’t worth as much as they used to be.

That’s her sewing box…maybe she’s going to try to sew his little beak shut.

That is her love letters box before she gambled her dowry in worthless Greek bonds and became a grumpy spinster.

The Sunday paper had a coupon for parakeet helper for everybody that has had too much Christmas turkey.

that is her ’piano; teaching the bird a new tune, with a Dixie land beat.

Her pet St. Bernard loved to hide under her dress.

The splodges on her dress are testimony to the parakeet’s lack of compliance.

Once again, so far, this isn’t in the list of works, by this artist, in Mr. Melcher’s blog. A click-to-enlarge image can be found here, along with a description (currently more here — look for Serinette).The Serinette (A.K.A. The Bird-Organ or The Canary, link shows Wikipedia page) is shown, with a different coloration image, and described, by its current-location page (Bing translation loses image). An alternate page (Google translated) has a shorter description.Another different coloration image can be found here (Google translated). Another description can be found in a page of an online book preview. The artist’s Wikipedia page (Google translated French Wikipedia page has more) and collection (more under Subcategories at each level).Only work (list link above), by this artist, that has, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here (2 total).

If you’re going to have an affair, don’t own a talking bird.“But… How did you find out?!” “A little bird told me.”

Fried Squab, nice.

she had two birds, and a stone is in here somewhere.
