Koohii stories:

1) [Thunderball] 5-8-2007(263): If you really love someone, you won't keep them in a cage-like bird house relationship, but rather open the door and let their heart walk around freely. Think less about "I" (あい) and more about "we".

2) [szreter] 17-3-2008(156): The man is about to enter the 'birdhouse' (brothel) when he remembers his true love at home, and, following his heart, uses his walking legs to go straight home.

3) [samuize] 17-10-2007(58): 愛は相手の心を受けることです。 (I heard that one from a buddhist priest - dont forget the extra stroke).

4) [raulir] 28-4-2006(21): Here we see what the guy from melancholy (#616 憂) ended up doing. To solve his matters of heart, he turned his walking legs towards the brothel (bird house) seeking for love.

5) [fuaburisu] 10-10-2005(19): An overly romantic man carries a bird house all the time with him, so he can send love-messages with his pigeons wherever he goes on his walking legs. His heart beating heavily in between the bird house (sitting atop the head like a hat), and the walking legs.
