Gorgeous naturally striped and spotted guinea feathers. For your fascinator. (What, you're not donning one at midnight for the wedding?) They also come dyed pink, yellow, or turquoise.

Christmas Decorations: Little Birds With Striped Hats
These little birds with striped hats are some kind of gift wrap embellishment at The Container Store but they'd make good Christmas tree decorations. Brace yourself for more Christmas decorations -- I'm getting ready early this year.

A Zorse, Of Course
Udo Richter photo CC.
This is a zorse called Eclyse who lives in Germany. She's the prettiest zorse I could find. (See more photos of her.) A lot of them have rather muddy-looking coats, although the stripes are still visible. I'd never even heard of a zorse until I read this story about hybrids a couple of weeks ago in the New York Times. But apparently zorses have been around since the 19th century. Check out the names various zebra/equine combinations (zebroids) have been given: zebrula, zebrule, zebra mule, golden zebra, horbra, hebra, zebrinny, zebret, zony, zetland, zonkey, zebonkey or zebronkey, zebrinny, zebrula, zebrass, zedonk or zeedonk, zebadonk and zedonk-a-donk-donk. Okay, I made that last one up.
