Because the ❄️ are mathematically generated, your ornament is guaranteed to be unique. Even more so if you use your own data!

if you’re an eBird user you can visualize your life list or your 2025 year list. You can also use local birds or hummingbirds or parrots… And you can make greeting cards too!

The biggest feather here is the Hyacinth macaw.

The smallest is the buff-faced pygmy parrot

The biggest feather here, in the center, represents the Giant hummingbird.

The smallest one represents the Bee hummingbird.

These are so fun to make. I love how they're slightly imprecise - because the feathers are tied to the size of bird species are not uniform!
