Bird Mobile Nuthatch
The next is a Nuthatch from BirdMobil. It is from a series of realistic card models that were printed in the '70s .
I was afraid to cut up the real deal, so I used the wonderful color copy function on my printer to run a copy so I could build it instead of the original. At first I was quite confused about the instructions, as they show part number, glue/assembly order, and sub-assembly order #s. it was a lot to work through. After a while of triple checking the instructions to the parts sheet, I was able to finish the model in about 2 hours. And, as an added bonus for my mom, this one is going to her for the nature center she volunteers at.

Cool Willygoat!! Nice job! I have the Birdmobile Osprey and don't want to cut it up but it's huge!! That is a European nuthatch by the way as are all the Birdmobile birds (Osprey, Merlin temporal circumpolar) We do have 3 (4 if you count Florida:p) nuthatches but not like that one. The Florida Brown-headed nuthatch is pretty much identical to the Pygmy we have out here. I think they may be the same species although not considered as such. Birdmobile made a kingfisher but not Belted, and a European sp of woodpecker also. Very unique and creative models, especially considering when they were produced.

Those are the models I had want to make at one time. But I have not got any yet. They are not so big. Well this one is not.
That is very well done!

Thanks folks! Glen- the wood pecker is the Lesser spotted. I have that one too. I told my mom that these were European varieties, but she said it wouldn't matter much. Consider it a geography and biology lesson :D
