When Elaine sees a bird or a picture of a bird, she holds up her hands and flaps them in a "fly away" gesture I taught her. It's one of the "animal noises" she does for her animal flashcards: she'll "oof" for the dog, "mew" for the cat, "moo" for the cow, "aaa" for the sheep, and "fly away" for the birds.

Well, today, Daniel was wearing his Trogdor the Burninator shirt, and Elaine noticed the picture of Trogdor. She decided right off that Trogdor, a "wing-a-ling dragon," was obviously a bird. She told us so with her excited "fly away" hand-flapping.
