About the Author and His books

Introduction

Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay has made guest appearances before, in several other books. Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay wanted to fly solo with his own book this time, and thus, Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay got his wish: Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay: Wing Adventure.

Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay now has the opportunity to fly solo into book land, with Birdy’s own title, and lots of stories to live Birdy’s winged life through adventures.

Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay is not exactly completely solo though, in his book. Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay has a solo license to fly, yes indeed he does, but Birdy’s friends are along for the flight in this book, although most of Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay’s friends stay landed, or grounded.

Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay likes his friends to be grounded, but many of Birdy’s friends are flying about the sky also, in Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay: Wing Adventure.

Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay last made a flight in the books ‘Passing the Time’, ‘More Time to Pass’, ‘The Best of Times’ and ‘Still Another Time, Times Remembered’. Birdy has updated his storytelling for his backyard friends.

This is Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay’s solo story book!

Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay: Wing Adventures.

Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay had a game in one of the other books: Birdy’s game was for the reader to find words that might need to be changed. Birdy does get bird brained, and he might have some words that need to be changed around. This is his bird game for you! Birdy plays this game with the Little Lucita birds all of the time. The birds think this game is hiding and go seek word game.

Birdy thinks of words as sort of bread crumbs in a way: a few bread crumbs sprinkled across Birdy’s whole back yard, do not mean much to Birdy, he cannot hardly see the bread crumbs if they are scattered this way. However, when the bread crumbs are scattered in one spot, Birdy spots the bread crumbs from high in the air, and swoops down for a dinner feast. Words assembled in one place, in sentences and paragraphs and stories into books, make Birdy happy. Birdy likes to chirp along as he reads.

Birdy believes bread crumbs are the food for his body; the words assembled for him to read are the food for his bird brain. Birdy knows his bird brain needs to be fed just as often as his bird body does with bread crumbs and whatever else Birdy likes to feast upon. Birdy has books to read as his bird brain food.

‘The Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay Song’

Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay, Blue Jay in the Sky, Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay, Flying in the Air so High, Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay, Looking for Bird Crumbs and Bugs, Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay, Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay Chirps and he searches bugs dug;

Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay, Flying home to his fig tree birds nest, Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay, His birds nest might just be a mess, Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay, Blue Jay in the Sky, Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay, Flying in the Air so High.

There is a Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay, Blue as blue can Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay be,

Who married his bride Birdella bluer than blue as Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay he be,

Together the Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay pair of Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay and Birdella flew together and lived happily in their nest, high in their Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay tree.

Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay and Birdella both longed for adventure to the Aegean Isle of Santorini.

Birdy’s dream, in his wildest flight dreams, were to sail off into the wind and clouds, for the likes of Dubai and Japan and Korea!

Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay, in the air every single day, Visited his Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay friends and as always and always,

Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay greeting friends and would say hi, hello ‘hey, hey, hey’.

High flying and high fiving Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay would greet his backyard buddies and buddetes by names; Hi to Bugeye The Owl and hi to Pige the Pigeon, hello to Footsie the Mallard duck too, and how do you do to Ida the Lady Bug;

Chip chip cheer to Itchy the flea, and oh so many many many Birdy would say good morning and hello, and hi too! Birdy might say hi in various birdy languages of all sorts.

Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay befriended the kitten and then, who at first became another backyard threat for him, pool building yard poachers, and much more!

Pup Childs gone barking wild, on either side of his backyard domain,

Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay called up his Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay friends and more, Lemon tree council to order, led by Scratchy the backyard hen,

Eventually as Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay sees, the neighboring pup Childs go barking calm,

So Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay hums and sings along with backyard buddies his song:

Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay, Blue Jay in the Sky, Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay, Flying in the Air so High, Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay the Birdy, Looking for Bird Crumbs and Bugs, Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay, Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay Chirps and he searches bugs dug;

Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay, Flying home to his fig tree birds nest, Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay, His birds nest might just be a mess, Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay the Birdy, Blue Jay in the Sky, Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay, Flying in the Air so High.

‘Kitten in the Backyard’

I am blue, I am in charge here!’ Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay was a Blue Jay. Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay was a Backyard Blue Jay in Houston.

Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay did not let any bird not to his liking chance land in ‘his backyard’.

The backyard was Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay’s own bird land kingdom. This is Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay land! This is Birdy the Backyard Blue Jay’s stomping grounds, or, landing ground.
