Who gave my brother the bird?

Today we left Fayetteville for parts south to see my brother Maurice and his wife Anne who live in Newark Valley, NY. This town is located in the central southern part of the state and is really very pretty country of rolling hills with lots of small farms. This past summer they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, and we were piviledged to attend along with their many friends. It was the first time in 14 or 15 years that all of the siblings had gotten together, making this a special occasion for all of us as well.

When we got here today, Maurice brought out a glass bird made by Fenton and hand decorated. This particular bird was a golden color and a fitting anniversary present, but the tags had been lost, and they did not know who had given it to them. Thus the comment, who gave Maurice the bird? Now if any of you readers know the circumstances of this bird, please let me know or call Maurice, as he would like to write someone a thank you note. Surely there is someone out there who would like a thank you note for giving Maurice a bird!
