How Do Wooden Birds Multiply?

How do wooden birds multiply?

This little question is puzzling. Months ago, during one of our walks to Wall Springs Park, we noticed a woodpecker in a tree stump. Without my glasses on, I thought it was real and slowly moved forward to take a photo. Surprise, it is wooden. Somebody carved it and put it there.

My next thought was that there might be a webcam on it, watching. I have yet to see one but the bird is re-positioned from time to time and lately the number of birds has started to multiply. Amazing, that somebody makes these little birds out of wood and then places them on this stump, near one of the boardwalks leading out to a fishing pier in the park.

I am still wondering if there is a webcam hidden someplace..................

Barbara-Jo, your post reminds me of our friend who migrated from Timisoara, Romania. He carved birds and put on tree branches.

Hi Barbara, How wonderful that you came upon this little miracle of how wooden birds multiply. There are little wooden elves that do this to make us smile, LOL.

Barbara Jo- funny you should mention this but a few weeks ago my husband and I saw a carved wooden duck tucked in a branch of a tree while we were on our morning walk in Delray . It was there for just a few days. Wonder if he's heading your way??

That's cute Barbara-Jo. We have a yard in the neighborhood with a little pond that has a growing family of little rubber duckies. Now coming close to 100.

Barbara-Jo, when Geppetto retired from the shoe business, he didn't give up the carving completely. Now he sits on a porch of his cottage in Clearwater and makes the birds you see, hoping one will come to life some day like Pinocchio did so he will have a pet.
