Anyone want to tweak this for me? I don't mind the body, coz
I was trying to make something really quickly, but the head 
needs work - especially the beak. Beaks are really hard! :)

Rats, I was so flummoxed by the excellent picture that I forgot to add:

Your bird looks more like a robin than a sparrow. There is a sparrow
(note the short beak) at:
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/G_Kunkel/songspar.htm

with the coolest wavfile of the sparrow singing.

Good actually, apart from the '~'. I wish ppl would remember that
the tilde is at the top on some 'puters, but, in the middle for 
others, like mine. I usually use quotes if I need to make a high 
point where you have a tilde (another  trick I learned from Joan).
I Like the beak much better though! Looks more like a sparrow now. 
I had something very similar to what you've done, originally,
but it didn't look enough like the robin on the pic I was copying!
I'm going to use this on the web site, if you don't mind. :)
Any takers for the butterfly? :-}
Cheers! :-)

It's a beautiful bird Hayley... it really doesn't need any
tweaking.. but since you asked... here's my tweak-- I
modified the beak VERY slightly and shortened the
legs one line (they looked awfully long to me)...
