My pencil pot would be full of these fun little birds on sticks -  if my friends and daughters didn't keep pinching them! They're featured in the  Jan/Feb issue of Cloth Paper Scissors if you fancy having a go.
Update: since my CPS article appeared, my birds have acquired some chirpy friends - so cute I had to add links, so have a look. I'll be glad to add more if you let me know.
Birds from:
Jenny and Bea in Atlanta
Kate Crane
Mandy, Sophie and Max
