meet scarlett, the little red bird...

scarlett is tippi's pet bird. she loves to sit in her nesty basket that tippi made from an acorn and some notions from the sewing tin. scarlett enjoys swinging on a branch on the peach tree, as the breezes fluff up her lovely feathers. she sings a happy tune on this beautiful summer day. tweet-a-tweet! ~would you like to share some nesting materials with the birds in your garden? here is some information to get you started... go to practicalherbalist.com/bird-nest-material-basket. your bird friends will thank you!
