Original artwork description:

The young bird of paradise ( l'Oisillon de paradis ) is an adorable little bird from the PluminoOz family.

It is made from real bird feathers (rooster, peacock, ostrich) selected one by one and sculpted, skilfully assembled to give it shape and soul. The beak is carved from wood bark that has been painted and varnished to give it a real look.

The feathers come from a private property where the birds live free in the courtyard and shed their feathers naturally or are salvaged from old feathers.

The bird is set against a white background and highlighted in a moulded gold frame.
