List of colors used to embroider this pattern
B5200, 310, 3078, 407, 3777, 3371 and 841 (new colors).
Start by embroidering the circumference of the pupil with split backstitch 1 thread and the color B5200. With the help of the photo, then fill it in with the colors B5200, black and 3777.
Embroider the striped part with straight stitches 1 thread alternating white and black. Embroider a few yellow stitches and color 3078 to finish the eye to lengthen it well.
With the help of the photo, start to embroider the beak with the colors 3777 and 407.
Continue adding color 841.
Continue with the same color, rounding the beak and leaving room to be able to embroider the outline.
Finish the beak by embroidering the parts which are still empty with juxtaposed stem stitch 2 threads and color 3371.

Hello Laurence, i too have pondered about how one would go about the branches. They look gnarled and not easy to do with just long and shirt stitches ….i was thinking out loud, how about clusters of tiny french knots? In mixed colors, of course…. in any event, love this project, i have to confess the body is giving me problems, but love it still. Thank you so much for inspiring us!!!

I will give it some try and then decide between long and short. satin knots or a mix. We will see
