Raina Mazwiembiri and her two daughters make these seedpod bird using pods that they collect with their families from local trees. They then add wire for the feet. The women hand paint each to create these unique birds.

Seedpod Bird Delight

I originally purchased 3 of these seedpod birds in a shop in Ann Arbor and grew to love them more over time. I was delighted to track them down on this website and have since purchased probably 15 more. They perch all over the house and bring me joy whenever I catch sight of one. I've even begun buying ones that don't initially appeal to me, and without fail they all find a place in my heart. This review applies to every one that I've purchased, not just the blue jay (my most recent addition).

Beautiful but smaller than expected

The blue jay is beautiful, but I didnt realize how small it was (shame on me for not reviewing the dimensions). I want ti give as a gift and will need to order another one or two
