We bought a bird for each of our children's families and one for ourselves. The idea was to put them on our Christmas trees every year, but the birds are too beautiful to put away! They will be displayed all year round and I suspect there are more bird gifts in our future.
This was so well done, so well painted, it was a joy to give as a Christmas gift, and my friend just loved it. She's put it in one of her large houseplant pots. Watched over by the cat.
