We have gathered several instructional videos to get you started on social networking. Just Our artisans draw their inspiration from the feathered fauna of the Amazon rain forest, this is particularly the case for macaws and toucans. The first step in the sculpting process is to select the appropriate combination of rocks. This combination gives each bird its beautiful colors. The rocks are then glued together; up to this point the bird is still unrecognizable. The next step is to sculpt the rough rocks into the desired shape. Following the sculpting step, tail, crest, claws, and beak are attached. The next step involves sculpting feather detail on the body and tail. The bird is then coated with a protective layer of lacquer; this coat protects the bird against the elements if its purpose is to look pretty outdoors. Finally, the claws are inserted into a base which consists of an onyx platform glued to another rock, usually quartz, agate, or calcite. The next stage in the life of our birds is one week at sea sailing from South America to America. This stage is particularly hazardous and a few birds don't make it in one piece. Once they arrive on port, either LA or New York, our birds are placed on terrestrial transport on route to Texas. From here we ship our birds to happy clients across the United States. A few even get to see Australia, Canada, and England. Our birds weigh from 4 to 10 lbs and stand as high as 13 inches.

The best location for your bird is on a solid steady surface such as a chimney mantle, a bookshelf, or a display cabinet.
