From Old World Christmas. Birds are symbols of happiness and joy, so they are regarded as a necessity on the Christmas tree. Glassblowers often kept wild birds during the winter months since the sound of the gas flame in the workshop prompted the birds to sing. Then when spring arrived, the birds returned to freedom. This glass Western Goldfinch ornament has the distinctive black and white wings, yellow body and black marking on its head that make it unmistakably recognizable, with the added flare of a spun glass tail.
