I whittled this from a neighbouring slice of the same wood as the pine snack dish below. I got the idea from YouTube videos made by Arleen Zomer (carverswoodshop) where she made letter openers shaped like birds. This one is thick and took a lot of whittling. I sanded it too. I used a wood dye on the main bird (not the blade tip, or the beak) and I painted the beak and eyes. I finished it off with a few coats of clear satin varnish.
