The Birds

Did you ever see that Alfred Hitchock movie?  So creepy.  That may be the origin of my general dislike of birds.  I had a boss once who loved birds.  I could never fully support that love.  Now don't get me wrong.  I love all of the cute/trendy birds that are all over the place right now on fabric and in other decor.  I just don't like actual birds.  Some dirty birds keep trying to build a nest in Maya's window box and there are regularly nasty eggs out there that need to be gathered up and thrown away.  But that's not what this blog is about.    Do you see the birds on my blog? (upper right hand corner)  How did they get there?  And more importantly, how do I get RID OF THEM?  They were never intentional.  I think I was trying to change the layout of my blog and somehow got the little flock to nest and while they kind of blend in with most of the backgrounds that I have used--I don't really want them.  I've changed my background many times and they stay.  I've tried to change the layout to "Simple" but they stay.  Any thoughts?  I know I've seen the birds on one other person's blog, but now I can't remember who.  Can you help me with my bird problem?
