Birds are loved the world over, by human beings from a wide variety of cultures and languages. Bird watchers are also found throughout the world and have a strong and passionate interest in all things avian. Here on Bellaonline we have two sites that are of interest to bird lovers. See both the Bird and Birding sites at the bottom of this article.

I have sourced lots of lovely bird patterns for enthusiasts to enjoy. If you know of a pattern that hasn’t been included here (remember it needs to be a free pattern), drop me an email so I can include it for all to enjoy. Don’t forget that you can use drawings from coloring in books. These black line masters are ideal for applique patterns.
