This is a composite of about six layers; the original or background photo had only the female cardinal and the sparrow in it. I gathered pictures of other birds taken on the same limb and simply relocated them via Photoshop. I thought it would be nice to get the neighborhood together for a little rendezvous. (Taken in Sunset, Louisiana, USA)

I was also inspired by this song by the New Seekers and have chosen it as the theme of this image:
I’d Like to build the world a home
and furnish it with love
grow apple trees and honey bees
and snow white turtle doves

I’d like to teach the world to sing
in perfect harmony
I’d like to hold it in my hand
and keep it company

I’d like to see the world for once
all standing hand in hand
and hear them echo through the hills
for peace throughout the land
(that’s the song I hear)

I’d like to teach the world to sing
in perfect harmony

I’d like to build the world a home
and furnish it with love
grow apple trees and honey bees
snow white turtle doves

I’d like to teach the world to sing
in perfect harmony
I’d like to hold it in my arms
and keep it company
