Guest Picks: For the Birds
I love the colors and the detail in the feathers of the parrot. This drawing is very pretty for any space.
My family has been unsuccessful in our attempts to invite bluebirds to our yard, but we're still hoping to see one soon. This watercolor is lovely, and I like the thought of hanging it in the living room.
This etching has such a wonderful textural quality. It reminds me of a book illustration.
I love the black and white whimsical style of the bird. It would be very cute for a kids' room.
Mint makes me happy, and it brightens up a space for spring. I love this pillow for the couch in my living room.
Wouldn't this be adorable in a nursery? I love the bright yellow and the little hand-stitched details.
I have a pair of brass duck bookends, but these blue herons are quite striking. I'd trade my ducks for these two in a heartbeat.
I love the sculptural quality of these swan bookends. They're very pretty.
I found a pair of these quails at the local Goodwill, and they have sat proudly in my living room for several years now. I am quite fond of them and think they would look lovely on a nightstand or bookshelf.
My daughter would get a kick out of this owl bedding. I love the way it works for a child's or adult's space.
I don't think I would ever get tired of looking at feather art. This piece has beautiful colors.
My kids own this book and love it. It has just the right amount of information for them, and most of the birds in it can be seen in our own backyard.
This is a very simple and beautiful introduction to birds for preschoolers and toddlers. It has very little text and lots of beautiful pictures.
This is a classic that always makes me and my family laugh. We love P.D. Eastman.
I found a used copy of this, and my kids love it. There is a button you can press for each bird that lets you hear the bird's call. We play this one over and over again.
I think this is another must-have for a home library. My kids and I love reading it in the spring when all the birds are building their nests.
This book cover is amazing. I want to prop it up on a front-facing bookshelf. The story inside is equally as wonderful. Your kids will most certainly giggle at this bird's adventure.
This book has so many great illustrations of common backyard birds. It's perfect for young kids.
I love the overall theme of this book: Having more doesn't make you happier.Next: How to Attract Birds to Your Garden
This book is exquisite. If you have a child who loves to color, this book is full of amazing birds.
