Sparrows and Holly

Vintage Illustration of Sparrows & Holly

I had someone ask if I could find some pictures of birds, especially things like sparrows. Pictures of birds are always useful for clipart projects, so I readily agreed to keep my eye out for some and I hope to find several to add here.

This is one of the first I have found so far...a picture of two, pretty sparrows flying together in front of what looks to be a holly bush to me.

Since I tend to think of holly as more of a winter or Christmas thing, and since some might just want a version without the plants for other reasons, I decided to do version with it edited out, which you can see below.

Girl Feeding Birds

Here is a nice cheery, warm spring/summer public domain image for you of a girl standing before a tree and feeding some birds. The books (and pencil) in her hand makes me think perhaps she was on her way to or from school. I love her Victorian clothes with a short skirted dress, large lace collar, cute little button up shoes and large hat that has slid off to the back of her head. Plus she has darling little curls and a sweet, big bow on one side of her head as well.
I cannot tell what she is feeding the birds, but it must be something to get them excited as there are not only a couple of birds on the ground, but also several birds birds flying out of the tree to investigate.
