    They look great!.
    If they are miniature cardinals, how big are cardinals in real life?
    Also do the real ones actually sit down like that?.

    Here's some info on Cardinals: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/n...al/lifehistory

    They're about 22cm long, which I assume includes the tail. If you could get one to sit down on a table, it would probably look like the ones I carved. However, most of the time they are using their legs and feet to perch on a branch and the feet are visible. I carved these as "shelf sitters" for decoration, so no feet and no branch and they are about 1/3 life size.
