Everyone likes birds. What wild creature is more accessible to our eyes and ears, as close to us and everyone in the world, as universal as a bird?
David Attenborough
I don't know if everyone likes birds, but I simply adore them and I love to paint birds as well.

Thank you! 🙂
This bird breeds across Europe and temperate Asia. It is mainly resident, but many northern birds migrate further south in the winter. Mixed woodland with some conifers is favoured for breeding, including parkland and gardens.
The food is mainly seeds and buds of fruit trees, which can make it a pest in orchards. Ash and hawthorn are favoured in autumn and early winter. If wild bird cover is planted for it, kale, quinoa and millet are preferred, next to tall hedges or woodland.
Really great work :)
Lovely, just lovely. It's as if he might hop off the page and eat from my hand.
We have a similar bird to this in US that is yellow, I wonder if they are in the same family?
Thank you Donna! I think you have the orange one like in this image, or you saw the female. 🙂
Beautiful bird!
