These vibrant, tropical parrots, macaws and toucans
can cheer up even the darkest corner of a room.
The large, green, carved parrot is actually a drink muddler
and the smaller birds are stir sticks and food picks.
But I just use them for display.
I smile when I pass by more bright birdies attached to my refrigerator,
and I am flooded with memories of a far away place, so dear to my heart.
(A few of you already knew that I spent nearly half of my girlhood and teen
years living in South America. Brazil. Where these birds are from.)

Very cheerful birdies.
I love the bright paint and anything made from wood makes me smile : )
The bright colors would "brighten up" anyones day I think.
Very cool that you lived in South America.
I had a son serve a mission in Equador for 2 years. HE LOVED IT.
They are beautiful. I can only imagine seeing them in the trees of Brazil. I hope you enjoyed this weather...smiles...Renee
They are pretty birds and another interesting display. What is a drink muddler?
Well, how sweet.
Just the sort of thing one needs in the dark days of Winter!
Those are very cute ;-)) have a good day, dee x
What cheery birds! My daughters' favorite animated movie this past year was "Rio". It was filled with these types of birds.
What cute birds! They are so colorful. Those would perk up anything!

Oh wow, how interesting. Do you ever go back to visit? Such pretty painted birds.
They are so bright and pretty and so expressive considering that they are such simple carvings. Wood always produces lovely results.
I see you still have your same striking borders on your pictures - did you find a new way of doing them or were you able to carry on as before?
Bright and colorful..looks cute!
They would make me smile too. Love all the bright colors.
Would you like to return to South America one day to live?

Oh I didn't know your heart was in Brazil! Such fun birdies esp when it's been so dull and wintery. By the way, I love your green handle post. I adore those too. Have a few floating around my kitchen.
