NEW YORK, NY—According to a report released Monday by the National Endowment for the Arts, birds are going to be the next big thing.

"From bird-themed jewelry to bird-patterned wallpaper to bird-shaped cookie cutters, it seems that everything is going to be birds," NEA chairman Dana Gioia said. "And not just any birds, but cute little baby birds."

Gioia added that he expects to see a whole lot of bird-themed T-shirts, including ones with pictures of birds on them.
