"Couldn t give him away!"
I bought this with the intention of giving it to my adult daughter, who has cute little animal figurines on her desk and peeking out throughout her office. But when I unwrapped it to make sure he hadn t been damaged during shipping, I couldn t put him down. I sat there like an idiot, smiling and rubbing my thumb over his smooth little belly. Needless to say, I sent him nowhere. He is mine! The artist did a beautiful job, and there some other figurines of his that I will be adding to my bird collection.

"Say Pretty Bird"
Hummingbirds visit the feeder outside our living room window every year. Their appearance, their chatter, their ducking and diving are a joy to watch. And now our Jacobin Hummingbird sits perched on the sill of that window so we can see him all year round. (We wonder if the visiting hummers will notice and react to him. Time will tell.)

"One of the sweetest birds yet!"
I have been looking for a reason to buy this little gem of a bird. I bought it as a gift for a friend - to remember his mother. I know he will treasure this little Beauty. I have several of Mauricios birds and have purchased a few to give to give as gifts. Mauricio, your work brings such joy to all.

"Merry Christmas to me! Love him"
My Cardinal arrived before Christmas so I just put the empty box under the tree. I placed him on top of the antique East Lake secretary that was from the ancestral farm house. The cardinal has watch over my dining room. I have Mauricio birds in several rooms of my house. I love each and every one. I have purchased many as gifts for friends, too.
