Old Wooden Cardinal Cutout with Bright Yellow Painted Beak vintage furoshiki with a bit of irregularityI had a great old wooden cutout bluebird in the shop a few months ago, found in Maine just as this Cardinal was, and I have a bit of a hunch they were made by the same person. The polychrome color on this one has similarly faded with age, especially the red, but I think it is all to the good in making for the perfect contrast with the still super bright and thick yellow paint on the beak. I do think this one would do a good job attracting other birds
