A vertical string of five small birds in jewel-tone resin — red, pink, green, purple, and blue — each set into a soldered metal frame for a stained-glass effect, with small red hearts strung between them. Each bird has its wing and eye picked out in fine line detail, giving them real character on closer inspection.
Hung in a sunny window, the colours light up vividly and the string turns gently in the air, so the birds appear to be perched in conversation along the line. The hearts between them lend the piece an unmistakably affectionate feel without tipping into kitsch.
A genuinely thoughtful gift — particularly suited to anniversaries, weddings, engagements, or as a piece for a couple's first home together. The birds-and-hearts theme also works well for Mother's Day, milestone birthdays, or any occasion where you want something with a bit of warmth behind the gesture.

Good to know
Where should I hang it?
A window that gets direct sunlight for at least part of the day — south or west-facing works best. When sun comes through, the coloured resin glows like stained glass and casts soft pools of colour into the room. In indirect light it still looks lovely, just without the lit-from-behind effect.
How do I hang it?
A small cup hook screwed into the top of the window frame is the neatest option. A suction cup hook works well if you don't want to make holes, though they can lose grip on cold glass in winter. The metal ring slips over either.
Will it spin?
Yes, gently — air movement around a window is usually enough to set it turning slowly, so the colours shift across the room as it moves. It's not designed for outdoor use where stronger wind would tangle the cord.
Can I hang it outside?
We'd keep it indoors. The resin and wire are reasonably hardy, but prolonged UV will eventually fade the colours and weather will dull the soldered seams. A porch, conservatory or covered window is a sensible middle ground.
What's the difference vs the ones on Amazon?
Look closely at the wire work — ours are properly soldered with even seams, not glued. The resin is poured cleanly into each section without bubbles or shrinkage at the edges. Cheap imports tend to use thinner wire that bends out of true, and the colours fade noticeably within a year or two even indoors.
