Birds from yarn will beautifully complement any interior. You can even create an entire composition. Birds on a tree, on a branch, in a birdhouse.

You can simply take a frame, draw a few strings (perches), and put your birds on them. Take bright threads, and then the picture will be noticeable.

You can make a small birdhouse and add birds to them. Such a composition in the interior will not go unnoticed.

Use birdhouse templates for your picture. At the bottom of the frame, make a small ledge out of cardboard and place your little birds there.

You can decorate the wall in the nursery with a real birdhouse made of cardboard. Add a small ledge from the branch below and plant your beautiful bird on it. Place several of these birdhouses randomly. So, you can easily dilute the interior of the room with bright elements.

Make a whole live composition on your desk or window sill. Place the toys on a branch that can be found while walking.

Or buy a small cage, artificial flowers in a handicraft store and create a beautiful, delicate composition.
