Susan from Downeast Thunder Farm has so many cool felted patterns on her blog. Many of them are free and some you can purchase individually or as a kit with felt. I ordered her Backyard Bird book and felt kit and spent about 10 days in Covid isolation working on as few as one bird a day to as many as 3 birds a day. There are 20 birds in the book. Many of you followed and cheered along on the “Snapshot, what are you doing today” thread.
Today, I went to the craft store and found the perfect greenery garland to display all 20 birds in my aviary. While I am aware that the birds do not live in an area with this type of greenery, I like it and it is perfect!
I attached each bird with a safety pin so I can move them around as I like!
Great idea for a display! You should be really proud of how dedicated to creating them you were! (Were I in any kind of isolation I suspect Netflix and I would’ve had a lot of fun times together ha ha!)
Enjoy your new friends!

@MightyMitochondria Thanks friend! I was kinda monopolizing the Snapshot board will my birds for a while! I really love it too!
@aimr It was nice to have something to do and really a reason to just keep making the birds and getting them done! It’s nice to see so many pretty felt birds together! Did you notice that I have them facing different directions?
@susieoregon Thanks! I can’t wait to get the hardware and hang it up! It’s more perfect than I could have imagined.
@AntBee Sadly, we don’t have enough data for streaming services, but I watched a bunch of sappy Hallmark movies while I made the birds!
@Cindy Well, turns out it was a Song Sparrow and not a House Sparrow? Does that change anything for you? I’m glad I didn’t bore people too much with my bird updates for almost 10 days straight! I’m really excited about this display, too!

We truly did enjoy your bird saga!
And, lol, yes, I did notice that your birds are going in all directions…duh…sometimes I have senior moments, lol…
That’s most definitely a House Sparrow. Here’s the two together
yes, I’m a bird nerd
I think the confuse came in the Snapshot thread when someone commented their favourite song bird was a House sparrow and then corrected that, saying it was the Song sparrow that was their favourite .
