Default Blue Tit almost finished

This is a Blue Tit, a small European chickadee found across Europe and some parts of Asia. I still have to build his toes and finish up the oak base. The stem and branches from brass tubing, the flowers from brown grocery bag also the leaves. thanks for looking..

He or she is a cutey. Not a bird carver but looks nice to me. Around here in Kansas they are black, gray and white. No color.

WOW! Nice looking bird. Definitely more colorful that the ones around my neighborhood. Good Job!

Thanks for telling us how you made the habitat.
