10/15/08Bon Jour!
Welcome to Antique Beak, a shop dedicated to Parrot and Bird lovers everywhere!
Looking for a few light-hearted birds? Then you've come to the right place, for this week we added not one, not two, but THREE of those special creatures, each more charming than the next. We also got a bit tinny with you and added a couple of those metal marvels. as well as a few more items from our last shipment from Germany. Of course, that's not all the feathered finds in this week's line-up, why not view 'em all by clicking on the "This Week's Arrivals" link just above?
We've been a bit busy this week changing listings around by adding here and subtracting there. Some of our items that once were one are now many (can you say LOT?) and the price reduced. Included were postcards, engravings, magazine covers and booklets. Interested? Then be sure to check out item #'s ab4635, ab3765, ab3757, and ab4626.
We'll be back the first week in November with some great additions for all you Flamingo lovers, a special, special German tin with an African Grey on it, Cockatoos, Cockatiels and more! We'll also be bringing you some fab Christmas ornaments, both of the hanging and clip varieties (don't groan, the holidays ARE almost upon us) so be sure to stop back by in a couple of weeks and watch the feathers fly!This week the theme is backyard birdies - hungry ones!
With his eye on the prize this male Ruby-throated Hummingbird considers his next meal......

....and with a leap and a cheep is off to a flowery feast.

One might say that he's really "into" nectar!

Speaking of, suet cakes seem to be the nectar of Wrens as this Carolina cutie illustrates.

Seemingly sated (and with suet still on beak) he stops to consider his recent repast.

And consider.

Until the temptation proves too much and a second serving is seized!
We hope you liked this week's "picks" (pun intended) as much as we did. I think it is amazing that the beating of a Hummingbird's wings can be captured on camera and if you think THAT'S fast, try taking a picture of a Wren sometime! :-)
Don't forget that we also have a layaway plan with no minimum amount or fees, which is a great way to buy that special someone something nice for the Holidays (and without the added worry of having to hide it!) We also offer gift certificates in any denomination if you just can't decide and will gift wrap your chosen treasure at no additional charge. See you in a couple of weeks~

We also buy bird items and consider trades in some cases. If you have anything you think we'd like, let us know!
We know how difficult it is to buy items seen only on a flat screen, so we have taken a few views of most items so you can get a good idea of what it looks like from all angles. If you need additional photos of anything please don't hesitate to ask!
THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!
