- "Avery," by natural progression of human laziness, becomes monosyllabic "Aves."
- I mentally spell "Aves" and recognize it as the Latin name for birds (class Aves).
- Being as this little bird was born in the Netherlands, and being as I actually know the word for "little bird" in Dutch, "Aves" becomes "vogeltje."
So Vogeltje it is, you see.
Dylan thinks that "Monkeybear" is more appropriate since she's a monkey that we dress up as a bear.
We'll see which one wins out.

Do you have an English pronounciation key for vogeltje? Tell Dylan that I do know how to pronounce Monkeybear. Also for Dylan, thank you for reminding me how big Alaska is. I do remember that it became a state on my 10th birthday. A reeeeeealy long time ago.
Foe-kelt-che. That's about the best I can do without a phonetic alphabet on my keyboard...
