Hello Cecil, You mentioned that "If the painting has too many birds, avoid placing it at the dining area." I remember reading this somewhere but it did not register in my mind until I read your article yesterday. Next to my dining table, I have a 2.5'x2.5' painting where 10 small cranes are resting by a forest stream. What are the implications? Should I take it down immediately? I didn't know that it is taboo, so where can I place this? Thank you for your help. Best Regards, soonhoe
