Rose here! Sorry for the lack of posts lately, we've been just hugely busy every day with our everyday lives. We're getting everything together, though, and big things are coming! Anyway, here's today's fun fact: Some people used to think birds migrated to the moon! In the 1800's, a publication stated one man's theory that birds flew to the moon, and that the trip there took 60 days! Many other theories existed, such as one that many people back then agreed with: that songbirds slept in enormous clumps underwater. Fishermen reported finding these, but we now doubt the accuracy of these reports. You see, back then people didn't know about migration! -Rose

They sure did. Some people thought they transformed themselves into different birds.
