We think kids must love birds because they're accessible and not frightening. We've had birds on the brain ever since we saw this bird artwork collection framed and hung together. We were drawn to the lovely canaries themselves, but also to this clean, simple method of displaying them.

The homeowner, (see their home on design*sponge) scored these bird prints at a flea market in a book called “All About Your Canary.” Since we never seem to have good flea market mojo, we looked around online to find some other great bird artwork we could collect. Here are four we think are great:

• Birds by Jeffrey Fisher (Chronicle Books), book of 46 illustrations ($16.95)


• Flora Fauna Birds Edition by Lumadessa, limited edition prints ($20)


• Bird prints by The Mincing Mocking Bird, ($14)


• Bird by Andrew Zuckerman (Chronicle Books), book of 200 photographs ($60)
