• An Old World Christmas Glass Ornament
  

A flash of gold, a streak of red, and a flurry of speckled feathers—the Northern Flicker is no ordinary woodpecker, and this 4.5-inch glass ornament is just as striking as the bird itself. Often staking its claim by drumming on trees and even metal surfaces, the Northern Flicker is a bird that just wont be overlooked.

From its golden-dappled wings to the deep red plumage close to its beak, this ornament's fine craftsmanship, all accentuated with a shimmering dusting of glitter, perfectly capture it's bold personality. Perched on a gold clip, it attaches easily to tree branches, wreaths, or garlands, adding a hint of wild beauty wherever it lands.

Unlike its tree-clinging cousins, the Northern Flicker spends much of its time on the ground, digging for ants and beetles with its sharp beak. But when it takes flight, it puts on a show—flashing brilliant yellow or red underwings, depending on the region. This ornament brings beautiful energy to any holiday display, standing out among your other bird decorations with its rich earth tones and lifelike design.

A perfect gift for bird watchers, nature lovers, or anyone who appreciates the unexpected, this Northern Flicker ornament brings a sense of movement and life to the holiday season. Whether clipped to a Christmas tree or displayed year-round, this little woodpecker is ready to make itself at home.

Text on Old World tag: 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.
