Now, how exactly were these adorable birdies at all inspired by Monty Python? Tribe member Spaz Girl explains:

My Mister and I met online. In the Getting to Know You phase, we were IMing and the following dialogue took place:

Him: Do you happen to know the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Me: African or European?
Him: Wanna meet for coffee?
Me: Hell yes.

If you aren't a Monty Python fan, that lovely nerd mating ritual was dialogue from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Watch it here.

So, fast forward a couple of years, and I'm complaining about cake toppers. I don't want one unless I can have an African and a European swallow, carrying a coconut. Then Ye Olde light bulb goes off over my head. And the search began for my dream cake topper.
