Give a Gift
Dear Wildfowl Carver,
There’s something irresistible about songbirds.
From the dazzling flash of a hummingbird’s iridescent color to the bold personality of a woodpecker, these remarkable birds offer endless inspiration for wildlife artists and bird carvers alike.
And now, you can bring some of nature’s most colorful characters to your carving bench with the Spectacular Songbirds Collection.
Discover a Collection Filled With Colorful Birds—and Creative Possibilities
Inside this special Collection, you’ll explore the beauty of songbirds through engaging carving projects, helpful patterns and color guides, and inspiring instruction designed to help you create charming birds and unique displays.
Whether you’re looking for a beginner-friendly project, searching for your next carving challenge, or simply want to study the details that make these birds so distinctive, you’ll find plenty of inspiration inside.
The Collection includes:
Study the Bold and Beautiful Red-Bellied Woodpecker
They’re brash.
They’re bold.
And when they arrive at a bird feeder looking for a peanut or a piece of orange, the other birds had better get out of the way!
The Red-Bellied Woodpecker may have a name that doesn’t quite tell the whole story—the famous red patch on its belly can actually be surprisingly difficult to see—but there’s no mistaking its dramatic personality.
Inside the Red-Bellied Woodpecker article, you’ll get an up-close look at this smooth operator of the bird world.
You’ll discover fascinating details about its distinctive appearance, including its smooth tan feathers, striking black-and-white back, bright red head, stiff tail feathers, and powerful bill.
But that’s only the beginning.
Meet the Woodpecker That Plays by Its Own Rules
Unlike many woodpeckers that spend much of their time boring into trees in search of insects and grubs, the red-bellied woodpecker has a surprisingly varied appetite.
From blueberries and oranges to acorns and hazelnuts—and even insects, lizards, frogs, and other small creatures—this adaptable bird knows how to take advantage of the resources around it.
You’ll also discover why these birds are so fiercely territorial, how males court females by drumming and creating nest cavities, and the fascinating ritual that takes place before a pair finally decides they have found the perfect home.
Discover the Story Behind the Bird Before You Carve It
Understanding a bird’s behavior can give you a deeper appreciation for its personality—and help you see your carving subject in an entirely new way as you work to develop your piece.
The Red-Bellied Woodpecker article follows these remarkable birds from territorial disputes and courtship through nesting, raising hungry chicks, and the dramatic moment when young birds finally leave home.
It’s a fascinating story of survival, family, and one bold bird species that has steadily expanded its territory for generations.
And, of course, the Collection includes a helpful Pattern and Color Guide to help you study the distinctive features that make this spectacular bird instantly recognizable. Plus, each digital pattern is available to download and print!
Carve a Broad-Billed Hummingbird Perched on a Gourd
