Scissor Tail Flycatcher

Description

The large Scissor Tail bird in the mold is 3.25" tall by 2.375" wide. This pretty mold has a Scissor Tail Flycatcher bird in flight and a smaller perching bird. Also included in the mold is an assortment of elements that are found in the tops of tall trees where they prefer to nest. Included are four single leaves, a spring of leaves, a branch, and a nest. In life, this migratory bird, when perched is rather plain. The body is a soft gray color with very long black and white tail feathers, nearly twice the length of it's body. But, when in flight, incredibly brilliant reds can be seen in the under part of the wings and the sides of the body. This bird snatches insects from the air and is invaluable in our homes and farm lands. The parts can be molded in clay and painted, antiqued, or used as elements in a larger design. They're perfect for embellishing scrapbook pages, frames, and more.
