Over the past little while I've noticed a trend in stores for white ceramic birds as decorative objects. I resisted valiantly until I saw this one: 

The reason I caved is quite simple, this particular bird has storage which is perfect for holding my individual serving bars of British Cadbury's chocolate (Yes, it's better than the Cadbury's on this side of the Atlantic). Also, apparently in Feng Shui, having a bird in the room can bring good luck. Hopefully the amount of luck isn't directly related to the value of the bird, as this little guy only cost $7.
