A rustling sound can be heard from the undergrowth conjuring up images of odd creatures, faeries, elves, caterpillars, hill giants, a young man who likes to wok, a KT playing with a ball of yarn, the glisten of shedded reptile scales, a green crowned feline, a gorgeous oriental girl, one touched by the joy of elan, a chesire cat (morri or lessee), wonnnnnderful simian, and of course a fair haired little girl; but alas! Appearing from the underbrush it's only yardbyrd!
The byrd walks out of the undergrowth and appears to be walking up invisible stairs when a rough hewn, brown, and plain wooden perch appears and he mounts it. Suddenly a minah bird appears next to him, on a matching perch, and yard begins to look like he is pecking softly at the side of the minah's head; the minah begins to talk,
"Hail Vapelandians! My good friend has asked me here today to express his delight with you all and your wonderful posts. (The byrd is still pecking lightly) He also suggests that a little bird told him that a home remedy for earache is to get camphorated oil or camphor oil, put several drops on a cotton boll, and gently insert it in the offending ear; this should produce a soothing effect. (the byrd pecking is a bit more emphatic) ....he also would like to express his happiness at seeing lettuce head returned and apparently, healed or healing, probably from the effects of AIV's tasty treats! (the byrd pecking is growing slower....before we go a bit of whimsy for you all as we celebrate the celebration of our own special celebrity!
"In a Wonderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die:
Ever drifting down the stream --
Lingering in the golden gleam --
Life what is it but a dream?
-Epilogue of "Alice in Wonderlande" -Lewis Carroll
The mihan byrd suddenly leaps from it's perch and in a banting and teasing motion starts pecking lightly on the side of the yardyrds head; they both appear to be laughing as they fade, grow dimmer, and finally evaporate.

Gliding so gracefully, he looks like he's in slow motion, Yardbyrd, slowly descends, with ease, and just above the fantastic soil of Vapeland, he hovers a moment and looks around. He sees the denizens of Vapeland, romping, rollicking, talking, and smiling, walking and enjoying. He sees a finely appointed table set and ready for tea complete with silver serving set, small cakes, and a PV by every place setting! He stops hovering and a perch appears beneath him but instead of perching on it he sits on the small "T" and produces a tiny replica of himself, dummy like, and comical in it's lampoon; he slowly takes his left foot and placing it inside the dummy a voice can be heard coming from the tiny, funny, yardbyrd, but yardbyrd's beak isn't moving!
"Hail Vapelandians! I see you are all well appointed and that our populace grows in size, merriment, and imagination! Here is a small idea to feed the psyche and inspire creativity:
"Say, what is the spell, when her fledgelings are cheeping,
That lures the bird home to her nest?
Or wakes the tired mother, whose infant is weeping,
To cuddle and croon it to rest?"
Sylvie and Bruno Concluded -Lewis Carroll
The little dummy yardbyrd appears to be shrinking and as it wanes yardbyrd's inserted foot begins to draw him farther into the small thing until only the dummy yardbyrd remains. The dummy looks up, opens it's beak in an undeniably comical, byrd type smile, winks, and with a rather loud "CAW!" shrinks away into that odd space that is the Byrds haven; it is no mistake that this occurs in Vapeland.
