Mauricio Morales crafts a small ceramic bird figurine that features exquisite hand painted detailing. "The process for making these small animals was something I learned when I was small...since then it has become a passion of mine," says the Guatemalan artisan, adding that the bird sculpture is made for, "...all of those who love birds." He starts by mixing the clay and carefully shaping the figure, and then he adds aluminum legs and feet. After the bird is fired, he sands it, mixes his own colors and paints the figurine. The result is a charming and exacting depiction of a peregrine falcon complete with blue-grey coloring, mottled breast, and distinctive yellow hooked beak.

"This peregrine falcon is really special!"
I have purchased three lovely birds from Mr. Morales, and I love them all. They are very carefully painted and look so real the wire legs and feet look real too. You can tell he really likes birds by the way he paints them. I have them all around my apartment, like they are peaking around corners or keeping an eye on the other birds. So cute! I plan to buy more in time. Thanks Mr. Morales.

"Beautiful Oriole"
I gave this as a gift and the recipient put it in a outside planter and it still looks good after a few years. He loves Orioles and happens to be a Baltimore Orioles fan.

"I needed this sweet Pink Robbin"
Thank your Mauricio! Your work never ceases to amaze me. I dont think I will ever truly have enough of your birds. This little robin flew all the way from Australia via your hands in Guatemala. I love learning all about new-to-me-creatures in the world, so I read all about my new little beauty.

"Soooo adorable !!!"
I fell in love with Puffins when we saw them off the Maine coast. They are just like Mauricio depicted, colorful and playful. It is a great addition to our Maine room decor. Perfect.

"Thrilled!"
This is my fourth bird carving by Sr. Morales. It is my second favorite! Lovely detail and expression. Have seen a. wild Snowy Owl once, as every so often they come down from the Arctic Circle to Maine when their food supplies run low after a population surge. This commemorates that very rare experience. Thanks for this beauty!
