There are many uses for artificial birds, from formal representations to holiday decorations. They are most commonly used for decorative purposes. Here's everything you need to know about artificial birds.
Artificial Birds as Decorations
One popular way to decorate a home is to use fake trees and nothing compliments them more than adding a fake bird and a bird's nest to one of the branches. It adds some authenticity and brings color to the decoration that otherwise might just blend in with the rest of the room. They have a visual effect and can be used for event decoration and are also commonly used for Christmas decorations. They can be used as symbols. For example, white doves may be used for wedding decorations.
Types of Artificial Birds
Most artificial birds are made of all natural materials and they are handcrafted. This makes each bird somewhat unique and lifelike. Artificial birds come in as many colors, sizes and species as the birds themselves. They can resemble anything form a finch to an Amazon. Some are specially made for holiday ornaments and decorations.
State Birds
Another popular use for fun, pretty and decorative artificial birds is to represent the state birds. Each state has it's own flower, insect and bird. There are a number of reason why you would want to represent your state's bird. One reason would be to use it in a science fair display to make a collection of all of the symbols from your state. It is a great way to learn about the items and having the visual creates a real aspect to the project.
More than Just a Pretty Bird
There are other uses for artificial birds too. They aren't used only for visual effects. There are some that are made with real bird calls. This can be useful as a teaching tool when learning about birds or in trying to bird watch and get the attention of a particular bird.
Another reason to collect artificial birds is to create a collection of endangered birds. Like many animals that live in the wild, some species of birds are at risk of dying off and becoming only a memory of the past. So a nice collection of endangered birds in the form of artificial birds is a good way to learn about which ones are extinct and how we can protect them and keep this from happening.
