Colorful Vintage Birds

I love birds and I remember when I was in primary school my mom used to draw and paint all the bird’s illustrations for our projects, she is a wonderful illustrator and I wish I had saved those drawings.  Anyway today I bring you two colorful birds that brought me back some memories about the beautiful illustrations my mom used to make.   I found these lovely two in a vintage book of birds.  Aren’t they beautiful?
