Well. We had a good run, but #TeamWeebill are out of #BirdoftheYear now 😔

Ok,#TeamWeebill made it through to week 2 of #BirdofTheYear, but the little cuties are lagging behind the flock on votes today!

C'mon folks, let's show you don't have to be super photogenic to win!
(or even photographable, see my best weebill pic below)
