fo & strange bird

Here are Miss Emily's socks to match her baby sister's. She loved them and wanted to wear them immediatedly. She actually wanted to wear them after the first one was finished but she hung on for the second sock. I love the picot edge.

So I cast on a pair for me with regia canadian fashion colors (can't remember which). I took this photo with some strange bird in the background, maybe someone can tell me what it is (the bird not the yarn).
