I make realistic looking birds using crochet, needle-felting and a bit of embroidery, because I really like birds and couldn’t persuade any real ones to come indoors.
Each bird takes between 1 and 4 weeks to make. I make them out of pure wool yarns and fill them with lamb’s wool – which makes them feel quite alive – and each one is tagged with a year-coded metal leg ring. Sometimes I make them perching on wool-wrapped wire branches, or turn them into 3-D pictures in wooden rings, and mount them on a wall.
I’ve been making them for about 2 years and have mainly focused on British birds so far, but I’ve got plans to try American birds, exotics and even some extinct species this year.

These birds are fantastic. Do you sell patterns please. I absolutely in love with my favourite bird Kingfisher. X
Your birds are beyond amazing! I have made a cardinal trying to imitate your style, but since I am new to this, it is cute, but not quite realistic! I like it, but LOVE yours!!! Never quit!
