Birds!!! Of course! 😉
This Brown-Headed Bridge bird was caught with its hand beak in the bark butter again!
Kathy at Backyard Bird Nerd is a big believer of feeding bark butter to the bazillion birds that flock to her yard!
I hope you check out Kathy’s blog if you too want a treat of beautifully photographed birds (and butterflies in the summer too!)
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂

Today’s weird bird was named the Bandana Banana bandit…
Because of its brightly colored “bandana” feathers around its neck. Living in the tropics, this bird was often caught trying to steal a banana or two!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
I hope this colorful bird helps brighten your day…
Cheers! 🙂

I wrote a little Limerick for you today…
There once was a red-tailed hawk,
Who liked to wear patterned socks,
He was quite the sight,
Especially in flight…
All birds thought his socks made him rock!!
I’m wearing my patterned socks today, how about you?!
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!!
Cheers! 🙂
I wanted to show you the collage materials that went into making my weird bird from yesterday:
Did you guess ALL 10 materials? Well, if not, let me help you out!
2. I altered pages from this old sewing book with acrylics before using it as part of the bird’s tail and nest materials.
3. I color copied a doodle I did previously and cut it up for my bird’s hat.
4. I used my gelli-printed deli papers for my bird’s head, wing and nest materials.
5. A paint sample card for the bird’s eye but I didn’t like the yellow color so I turned it over and used the other side with the bar code!
6. An old button was perfect for the top of the hat.
7. A sequin for the eye.
8. Old sheet music that I gelli-printed for the base of the nest.
9. Swedish Tracing Paper that I had gelli-printed a feather stencil – this tracing paper feels more like a fabric. It is a super fun material to collage with BTW! I think I purchased it on Amazon. It comes in a large roll. I used it under the bird’s body for the nest.
10. Tissue from an old dress pattern was used over the sheet music for the nest – a fun element of surprise. 😉
I usually use a glue stick to glue everything down and outline my bird with pencil to give it a little dimension.
I hope you enjoyed seeing the FUN I put into this BEST Dressed Bird!
Cheers! 🙂

Some days I’m “drawn” to words in the dictionary to create a weird bird. I often have no idea what I’m going to create and for me this is really fun! 😉
Sew it seams was the case for the Dressmaker bird:
If a bird could design a dress, do you think they would use the feather stitch?
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂
