Searching for the impossible?

So one daughter now has a tote bag with monkeys. And the other one, bless her heart, wants cockatiels.

I have a soft spot for 'tiels. The best pet in the world was Pee-wee, my cockatiel, who lived 11 years and died when my older daughter was not quite 6 months old. Younger daughter has seen only photos of Pee-wee, but she is enchanted by the sweet-faced bird with the delightful yellow crest.

Unfortunately, it's not the most common bird in popular culture. You try finding an iron-on pattern with a cockatiel. (If you find one, please let me know.) You'd think it would be a more common image — quite honestly, I think they'd be fun to stitch. Especially that crest.

The search goes on.
