How could I forget Rhapsody of Birds?

How could I forget Rhapsody of Birds? :D I forgot to mention in the previous post!

I wanted to celebrate birds, the life of birds. Mike and I love them very much. We live with two parrots and one chicken. We used to have 23 free flying owl finches and 3 Kakariki parakeets. We also take care of garden birds. I have nursed injured birds back to health a few times. We used to go to bird watching. East Kent is one of the best parts in UK to see migrating birds.

I added familiar birds like great woodpecker, blackbirds, egret, moorhen, malard and Indian Ringneck parakeet we saw near Richmond on this mask. But also some imaginative ones like Happy Bluebird - do you know the story a brother and a sister search for a bluebird which was said to bring happiness; so their sick mother would get better?

Rhapsody of Birds - sold

She is, I believe, on the wall of a 3 months-old baby girl. I hope she will bring happiness to the little girl!

Farewell, Rhapsody of Birds.

    Yes, I just heard of that story through Gretchen Rubin's the Happiness Project!
    And this piece is so beautiful! I can only how imagine how amazing it must be to have her watch over you as you grow up.
    There are probably not a lot of parents that pick art for their kids, but I really like that idea and will definitely keep it in mind in case I ever decide to raise a little human myself.

      I thought it would be wonderful for the baby girl. Lots of people admired her and a few people were inetersted in her. But the baby girl somehow got her. Or Rhapsody of Birds found the baby girl, perhaps. : )
