| | European Robin I did this bird for a friend whose wife collects items relating to this bird. If I understand correctly it is emblamatic in Britain. I did my research on the net because we don't have this robin in our neck of the woods. It is life size according to the info. I could find. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

| | Re: European Robin Reg, that's a very nice carving. I'm just wondering why it's European, we have dozens of robins here in Ontario that look just like it.

| | Re: European Robin Bandaid, these birds are very popular in England. Their likeness is heavily used on Christmas cards and note cards. It is, I am told the namesake for the American Robin. They do both have the signature red breast; but, the European Robin is slightly smaller than the North American version and the red extends on up onto the head.
Very well carved. |
