I DON'T CARE !

Over life size, unmarked, cold painted Vienna bronze, nib wiper.

Dont let him eat your bugs. Nice birdie!
Too much bugs... THEY would eat HIM first ;-)
Thank you Caperkid for your nice funny quick lovely comment!
I don't care who made it, either.....it's spectacular! :)
Hehe, I'm a little upset by so much people wanting to know "who made it and when" for common items... Why can't just enjoy...
Thank you Efe!
Kyra, I agree with that 100%. There are things which will always remain mysteries simply because it's not possible to find out who made it and when. The other reason is that there is no information about a certain item on the web, no matter how hard a person looks for it. For example - my sea serpent/cat/snail in blue luster! LOL!
I made them and i want them back. Please.
LOL @Caperkid! Methinks you're fresh outta luck on that one....
Lol! Good answer Caperkid! or John Doe on wednesday, 3 P.M. ;-))
A beautiful Collectible piece. much like gold to you or me !
Wow -- I thought it was a real bird when I saw in on the opening page. I thought you posted your birdie. Sp Cool.
< .... but he looks like he kicked the bucket in the last pic.....LOL......J/k ... of course...> Awwwwwwww.....
Peeep, drunk birdie! Rose! I had a rescued baby magpie who attacked him when I showed it to her :-) Thank you for the compliment and funny comment !
Bladerunner, you're so right, thank you for your highly appreciated visit and comment :-)

Thanks Kyra,
I'm from the pen and inkwell era myself, it's just I've never heard of a nib wiper. I looked through your links, and I think your sparrow is the nicest and prettiest I've seen.
Kyra, This is absolutely incredible!! So very detailed in every way!
So detailed, it could fly away any moment to eat me insects. Beauty bird!
Ha Gilian, me too learned writing with a dip pen and inkwell :-)
Jscott thank you for your always appreciated visit and nice comment !
Marga, lol, he is a well behaved birdie and won't touch any of our bugs ;-))
Thank you Paul for stopping here and loving the tweetie :-)
Thank you Jean!

Ho2cultcha and AGalWithGlass, many thanks for your loves!
Roycroft, so kind of you! The lovely comment plus beautiful link :-))
Thank youuuu!
I love your bird Kyra, and you presented it so nicely with your artful pics!
"Peep peeep tweeet" birdie said he loves you too Rick :-)
Thank you for your kind comment, love and compliment!
Thank you too Kathykay and Radegunder for your lovely visit :-)
Absolutely beautiful,Kyra!
But the last photo made me scared,looks so realistic !
Sometimes,birds escaping from predacious ones crashed at my window.This is so sad...
Right Yvonne! Had some too who crashed against the windows. . . We were two running when hearing the boom... Me and the cat!
But not in the same intention :-D
Thank you for your visit and nice comment !
Thank you for your loves Inky and Officialfuel :-)
Happy Holidays :)
Thank youuuuu, Eye! Happy Holidays too :-)
Many thanks for your visit and love, Ho2cultcha and Sean :-D
OMG! I thought 'Nib Wiper' was the bird's name! "Aye, there's a lovley Nib Wiper in the tree over there!" You have your tits and buntings, I though well, why not a Nib Wiper?
SMACK MY HEAD!!! He's darling!
Lol! You're funny Celiene :-D
Of course, why not call him a French brown headed nib wiper!
Birds can have so strange names :-)
Thank you for your comment!
I really LOVE this one and it is NOT a bug!!!!
Oh Vintagelamp! Not a bug, but he is my favourite though :-)
Thank you for your lovely comment :-))
A quiet, harmless little bird,
About your door I come ;
And when my low "
chick-chick," is heard,
I'm asking for a crumb.
O'er mint and clover-tops I flit,
And through the fragrant yarrow ;
Then, waiting near your door I sit,
A patient little sparrow.
To yon old churchyard late I flew,
And from its gate looked round,
Where marble stood, and willows grew,
Within the silent ground.
The branches drooped, the graven stone
Gazed on the grassy barrow ;
But all was hush, and thftre was none
Awake to hear the sparrow.
In simple suit of russet brown,
I thus am daily dressed,
While other birds on me look down ;
Yet I've a peaceful breast.
No envy for the loud and gay
Shall e'er my bosom harrow ;
More lowly, I'm more blest than they,
A fearless, trustful sparrow !
For clearer note, and richer plume,
And wider wings to fly,
May others higher rank assume
On nature's scale, than I.
Yet crimson, azure, green and gold
Attract the archer's arrow :
Bright captives, too, the cage may hold,
That never held a sparrow !
Now. lady, lest around your door
The bird that comes to-day
A crumb to ask, may come no more,
At heart my message lay.
For I'm our Maker's carrier-bird,
Though seems my sphere so narrow ;
And 'tis a kindly Spirit-word
He sendeth by " the sparrow
smiling...
How sweet is this poem, thank youuu Roycroft :-)
Wooh! HUGE collective (and late..) thanks from the tweetie to all of you, 31 lovers :-D
Lol, I wouldn't care either! He's adorable.
Thank you, adorable Vintagefran!
:-)
Thanks from birdie for your love, SpiritBear!
Another one, but... that price!!! Ô..Ô

Such a beautiful piece!
Oh, thank you Anik for your beautiful comment!
Sorry for the late answer... still not receiving notifications from CW!
I'm loving your little Sparrow once again!! So incredible!!
The common sparrow is one of my fave birds, this is gold to me. The only thing I don't like is tipping him over in the last photo, as he looks dead there.
Phil, I love these little buggers too! Except when it is spring time and they begin to SCREAM in the tree near my bedroom at 5.06AM.... it will soon arrive :-))
Thank you, and sorry for the dead bird effect in last pic!
Aww, thank you from the birdie, six-0-one :-)
