About This Collection
A flamingo stands in shallow water on slender legs with its neck in an S-curve, a tropical parrot perches on a leafy branch with a long pointed tail, and a peacock fans a full tail with an eye-spot on every feather.
The winter birds have snowy branches to sit on: a crested cardinal on a pine bough, a robin on a holly branch with berries, a dove carrying an olive sprig, and a round owl beside holly. A penguin family skates together, and a Christmas penguin wears a long knitted scarf. In the fall there's an owl under a big full moon and a raven turned sideways on a bare branch. On the farm, a chicken stands in front of a barn and a duck waits by a pond with reeds. Two bald eagles, a pair of Valentine's love birds, and a swan and a peacock beside two princesses finish the set.
The parrot and the cardinal have clear outlines for ages 3 to 5. The eagle with spread wings has feather detail for ages 7 and up.
Bird Coloring FAQ
Why do flamingos stand on one leg?
Standing on one leg takes very little effort because a flamingo can lock the leg in place, and tucking the other foot up may help the bird stay warm.
Can parrots really talk?
Many parrots copy human words and other sounds. They do not understand language the way people do, but a clever African grey can learn well over a hundred words.
What colors are peacock feathers?
A peacock's train feathers are iridescent blue-green, with the eye-spots showing rings of blue, bronze, and gold. The iridescence comes from microscopic crystal-like structures in the feather barbules that scatter light rather than from pigment. The peacock's neck and chest are typically a deep cobalt blue.
Why are penguins black and white?
Penguins' black-and-white coloring is called countershading - a camouflage strategy. From above, the black back blends with the dark ocean; from below, the white belly blends with the bright surface. This makes them harder for both predators and prey to spot while swimming.
Why are penguins linked to Christmas even though they live far from the North Pole?
Penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere, far from Santa's traditional North Pole home, but their cold-weather habitat and waddling charm made them a popular general winter symbol that crossed over into Christmas cards and decorations anyway.
Do real penguins actually ice skate?
Real penguins do not wear skates, but many species do slide on their bellies across ice, called tobogganing, which is a fast and efficient way for them to travel across snow and ice.
