This family of BIRDs - children, parents and grandparents - was designed back in 1959. Though only the small BIRD was set in production, it quickly became one of the most successful Danish wooden products from the 50s. Today, the entire expressive BIRD family has been re-introduced, and are all handmade by a small wood turner in Denmark who only uses the highest quality oak wood. This is the "parent" bird. By tilting the head in virtually any direction, the BIRD can express every frame of mind - happy, sad, curious, alert, etc. The body can be turned upside down making it either a male or female.
