3. Wild Bird Collection Ornaments

If you have a special place in your heart for birds, you don’t have to wait until the holidays to reserve a special place on your tree. Many of our bird ornaments are hand-painted and made in America by artist Marcia Poling. No two ornaments are exactly the same, just like the wild birds she models her artwork after.

As these birds follow their migratory patterns across the globe, you can find your favorites right here. Whether you’re fascinated by a pair of mute swans returning to their nest each year, or a lovely blue jay fluttering around your yard this summer, an ornament will save the memory of their visit into your family’s life.
