      Very cute, reminds me of the sort of carved bird you'd see in a cuckoo clock. He's very attentive and even looks musical- I think he's madly serenading a lady bird somewhere...^^

      Thanks Searching for your wonderful praise, I know, so cool to find a book piece - this bird is actually in @ 3 glass books I have (one just on Viking Glass pre-1970) & because of its age I was really surprised nobody posted this particular bird before - including me lol :) You know I have lotsa Viking animals so I'm always thinking I've exhausted them, but then I come across one like this guy and it makes my day

      Lauren you are totally right this looks like a cuckoo clock bird, or one in a rotating music box - perhaps it's those round eyes and upturned nose that give him a toy-like look. I adore the image of him serenading a lady friend that's so sweet! Thank you as ever for your awesome comment & super insight

      It's a simple shape but a good one, and very different to most glass birds
      Of course she is also that beautiful colour

      Thank you Karen for your wonderful praise/love for my Viking bird here, it is a different type bird with its nose pointed to the sky! And I really love amber glass though with Viking animals, there is always dark shading no matter how much light you give them, however they're always beautifully designed
