Starting a family is fun and exciting but this mother-to-be needs some quiet time and papa blackbird is so nervous and can't contain his excitement! The expression on mother blackbird's face is a bit annoyed as she's thinking, "Honey, please go away!" Hand carved entirely from American chestnut the wood grain and detailing is just awesome! The blackbird's feet are made from copper wire by the artist. What a great carving to welcome spring!
