After some tweaking my little birds are ready to fly around the world. They are the common birds that are found in English gardens, just about life size and made in felt. They perch with the help of tiny clothes pegs. The leaf design is included.

I hope you like them - I am open to suggestions about more birds. My neighbour wants a partridge for a pear tree at Christmas, but it will definitely not be life size!

These birds are really cute, i love them - especially the first one.
My suggestion for another bird would be a budgie.

Can you point me at a nice lifelike picture of a cardinal?

gwillmann by gwillmann 01 Mar 2016

Just Google 'cardinal pics'. There are several good ones.

As I've never seen a cardinal, I can't choose the most lifelike picture!

I think they are gorgeous Sue. I was thinking like Martine a Robin, maybe a Sparrow, Swallow, Blue Wren, Cardinal. They are all cute. I love your English Blackbirds, always hear them when I watch Midsomer Murders. Love Chris

The middle one is a robin! They don't really look like the ones on Christmas cards.

The birds are lovely, you have done a terrific job with them. Very imaginative, like the leaves too. Sandra.

They look great, I especially like the blue tit. I think a robin would be a nice addition, would come in handy for Christmas too.

As I said above, the middle one is actually a robin!

Sorry, did not recognise him. We have a daily visitor in the garden with different colouring.

How lovely they are. I just saw them on Yoriko's site. They should be popular. Great job.
