Maybe...

I ordered this as a gift for a bestie a few years back. After she died, I wanted one of my own. It is beautifully crafted, but there is no explanation or guide to the birds. Now wondering if she ever got one. Mine arrived in mid-September, so obviously there are some in stock without cards. I would order a set for another bestie, but not knowing if there is a card with info is problematic. And sending a pdf version is not acceptable. Would give 6 stars if card was included.

Response from merchant

Thank you for your feedback. We're aware that some orders were missing the guide bird key and apologize for the inconvenience. I've emailed you a PDF version directly. We’ve since corrected the issue in our current inventory to prevent this from happening again. We appreciate your patience and understanding.


Adorable!

Such great quality! Exactly like pictured. I'm so happy with my purchase!


Beautiful!!!!

Very pretty. Bought 2 for gifting!!!


The perfect gift for intention setting

I purchased this gift for a close friend & family member who's constantly focused on setting intentions and practicing self affirmations. Upon opening, her face lit up and asked everyone in the family to step up and blindly choose a bird to set their intention for the next day. It was a beautiful bonding moment and the perfect gift. The pieces themselves are beautifully glazed, brightly colored, and a dense ceramic. #sweepstakes


Adorable!

These are adorable! My wife loves them. They're well-made and meaningful. I'm really pleased with them. Thank you.


Great gift

This is a really cute set. Nice, well made.


I've found these to be a super helpful divination tool!

I have created 7 general advice categories for the birds, as a way to help guide my day. Like: Rest, Take action, surrender, give back etc. Each day I look at the assortment of birds and based on intuition I choose a color. I then put all birdies into a hat and take them out random to place next to one of the seven Daily Directives. Wherever my color lands for the day, that's what I do!


My mom loves it

Got this for Mother's Day and she absolutely loves it! She puts it on the windowsill next to her bird feeder, so it has become a beautiful weekly ritual for her. Beautifully executed from the painting and packaging. #sweepstakes


Recipient Loved These!

Exactly what I was hoping - gave to my mom for Mother's Day. She loves them so much that she even travels with them. Very cute and colorful. Seemed sturdy when I held them out of the box too. Great gift for the person who has everything!

The weight of the mailing package is between 0.50- 0.65 lbs.


So, just to clarify...the birds do not have the name on the bottom of each? Just comes with written cards?

Verified reply from Alice

You are correct, there is no name of the bottom.


Can you give a perspective of the size of each bird?
