The birds shown in the photo above were decoupaged onto flat, egg-shaped, cardboard cut-outs using magazine pages and a bird book cover from a child's ornithology text book. To make some eggs similar to our own you may download printable birds from the samples restored under my Paper Doll Workshop page.
"The common name for a bird in the Hebrew Scriptures, is tzephur, the rapid mover, or harrier; a name very expressive of these volatile creatures. A more general and indefinite name is ouph, a flier; but this appellation denotes every thing that flies whether bird or insect. It is frequently translated "fowl" in the English Bible. A bird of prey is called oith, a rusher, from the impetuosity with which is rushes upon its prey. In several of the passages where it occurs, our translators have rendered its plural form by "fowls."
