Found this in a local antique shop. Not a big taxidermy fan but loved this tiny diorama of a yellow legged honeycreeper and yellow finch.
Thanks to Anna B. for identifying the yellow legged honeycreeper.
That is ultra mega super cool. I say this as one who does collect taxidermy.
fortapache, Great to hear from you! Guess I made a good decision!
They are in beautiful condition, looks like no moulting yet!
racer, Thank you!
The blue bird is a Yellow legged Honeycreeper. It is often confused with a hummingbird because of its beak. It's a member of the Tanager family and it uses the long curved beak to pierce the backs of flowers to obtain nectar (from Pinterest).
AnnaB,
Thank you so much!!! Love the name of that bird! Appreciated!!!
=) I love the composition, it's cool and unique but I sure prefer them alive.
