Inspired by nature both at home and abroadfrom their garden in Tonsåsen come the characteristic bullfinch, chickadee, and wagtail, to name a few, but the fun doesn't stop there.

These delightful birds can be used as decorations year-round, but they may tend to migrate towards the Christmas tree when the time approaches.
