Brother & SIL birds

As I've been making these birds, I've been sending photos to my brother and his wife. They've enjoyed seeing the progress.

"What color are my wife and I going to be," my brother asked?

"You: dark green, dark blue," I texted back, "Your wife, I haven't decided but light blue, maybe rose and soft yellow. Definitely not showy."

 So here's my brother's bird. Note I used the same fabric in his beak as I did on his barn. Not an accident.

Here's the bird for my SIL. She's actually taller than my brother. The green beak is a nod to her green thumb and gifts with flowers.

As for the rest of the inspiration for her bird, all you have to do is look at her shirt.
