Bird Party: Set The Theme

Got a bird-lover at home? Go out on a limb with these adorable feathered party ideas.

Call out the birthday boy or girl with little feathered friends. Hang tags stamped with the birthday kid's name from the mouths of pretend birds (available at crafts stores; ours is from jamaligarden.com). Set each bird in a small flower pot filled with fake grass.
