So someone is fond of birds and Lego and he managed to get enough support for his Lego birds on the Lego Ideas website to have them released as an official set. Very cool! > **[Thomas Poulsom's LEGO Birds Now Available as an Official LEGO Set — Colossal](https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2015/01/thomas-poulsoms-lego-birds-now-available-as-an-official-lego-set/)** > > A few years ago we mentioned LEGO and bird enthusiast Thomas Poulsom who designed a beautiful series of LEGO bird specimens.

Awesome! I saw this set a while ago - maybe about a year - on the “potential sets” LEGO page, but it wasn’t getting quite enough support. It really is quite elegant. ---

I like how the title of this thread sounds like an either awful or awesome but very SDMB-ish baby name. “This is my son, Lego Colibri Thelassinus. And my daughter, Theremin Twickster Thelassinus.” ---

I assume the yellow thing is some kind of Central American remote link to the Dope Moderating Control Panel? ---
