Item Description

He is the winner of many ribbons and awards, including 1st place at the Ward World Competition for the past three years (www.wardworldmuseum.com), 

About the Tufted Titmouse:

From the Cornell Lab of Ornithology:

"A little gray bird with an echoing voice, the Tufted Titmouse is common in eastern deciduous forests and a frequent visitor to feeders. The large black eyes, small, round bill, and brushy crest gives these birds a quiet but eager expression that matches the way they flit through canopies, hang from twig-ends, and drop in to bird feeders. When a titmouse finds a large seed, you’ll see it carry the prize to a perch and crack it with sharp whacks of its stout bill."

You are bidding on the cost of this hand-carved bird with LOCAL PICK-UP.  Birds can be mailed, however, to anywhere in the United States. Winning bidders who would like to have this item shipped will see a secondary charge on their credit card covering the actual cost of shipping.
