You will have a choice of making one or more of the new miniature "egg" birds. Each one is made from a pigeon egg and will be pre-painted for you. The feet, beaks, and other specialty pieces are handmade by Debbie Botts and the feathers are made from a new iridescent double-sided paper made by Janie Blair. We will be teaming up to put these two items together to make a parrot for every port we visit. It will make a cute remembrance for each port you visit on this cruise.  Please specify which bird or birds you would like to make when you send your check.  Panama Pete - a green parrot with the Bohemian artist flair who would prefer to spend his time painting at the beach;  Benny Belize - a blue parrot pirate who has been snatching coins from unsuspecting victims and now is sitting on his stash;  or Carmen Costa Rica - a red parrot who has a "fruity" flair and is just waiting to shake her tail feathers.
