    Definitely more colourful than the cuckoo that visits us - not that I have seen or herd one for years.

    Nice stamp, and I like the combination of the colourful bird against a simple, pretty background.

    I"m definitely going to do my best to try out this bird color in one of my coloring book pages. Very nice stamp!
