Architect Henning Holmsted, was an equilibrist with scissors in hand and in 1960 the craft was combined with an interest in birds - and the first braided bird saw the light of day.

Lars Holmsted then took over his father's sharp scissors and several birds flew from the nest. Today, Henning's grandchildren are also involved in the braiding and this is how the tradition flies.

With the Do-it-yourself birds, the Holmsted family wants to create pleasant moments of calm and contemplation for the whole family, while at the same time it can inspire people to get out and experience the birds in their natural element.

The packaging for the braided birds is made of recycled paper and the braiding instructions are on the inside of the packaging. When/if the bird has to be packed up, the packaging is a "nice nest" for the bird.

The blackbird (Turdus merula) is a common resident bird. The male is black with an orange-yellow bill. The female is more brownish with a brown bill. The sunflower sings a beautiful and always varied song from treetops and rooftops. The song can already be heard from the end of winter. The sunflower looks for its food on the ground and on the lawn.

The bird is handmade from paper and will therefore vary in color and finish.
Paper handle included for hanging.
