Hot Pink Cape Town Bird!

I know this bird lives in Africa and can be found in Cape Town but I don’t know the species! He’s cute anyway. He has little copper legs and feet.

Hand sculpted and hand panted by me! One of a kind.

He measures approx 4 x 2 inches. – Forgot to measure this one too! Eek……..

European Bee Eater on Stand

I made this little guy a while ago but his tail was so long that he really needed a stand. I finally got around to making a stand for him this week, changed his feet a bit too.

Purple Sunbird

Miniature Bird Sculpture – Purple Sunbird

Got the 360 view going on this one! Not sure why these birds are named purple sunbirds, they all look blue to me – so I made him blue ;0)

“Like other sunbirds they feed mainly on nectar, although they will also take insects, especially when feeding young. They have a fast and direct flight and can take nectar by hovering like a hummingbird but often perch at the base of flowers.”

The Big White Bird!

Big White Bird – Bird Sculpture

I am not really sure what kind of bird this is – Heron? Saw a photo that inspired me to do this one but I can’t find it now. I know the bird in the photo was from Florida. Any who – he’s a big white bird!
