Amigurumi Baby Birds in a Nest Reviewed by Kate Styrsky on 2011-08-12
I made two sets of baby birdies-- one nestful is backyard birdies and one is baby parrots (bright green with pink-green-purple for the last two rows= tailfeathers!)
Another practical use for the nest is to hold earrings-- just slip the hooks thru the stitches on the nest. (Then your birdies will look like magpies, who love to collect shiny objects.)
