GROUPS OF BIRDS

For a bigger display, you can group your carved birds in pleasing compositions around branches or other forest finds. Here are some beautiful examples.

BIRDHOUSE

To make a cute birdhouse for your bird to live in, choose a solid piece of wood of around 5 × 10 × 25cm (2 × 4 × 10in) and make a simple box, sawn at an angle to accommodate the roof. Drill an entrance hole in the front of the box, approx. 20–25mm (⅘in) in diameter. You can use strips of wood, twigs, bark or other material to make the roof. Paint the outside of the bird box and paint inside the hole in black, then paint the roof and nail or glue it in position.

Carve the baby bird as shown in the diagram so that it fits into the hole, and glue in place or screw in place from behind. Choose a twig to be used as a perch, drill a hole in the nesting box and glue it in position. Attach a picture hook to the back of the box so it can be hung on a wall, and mount the bird on the perch (see here).
