These birds have so much personality and are created by Sofia of (365slojd) out of Sweden and you may have to translate this page if my translation does not work.  The birds are made of wool together with (homespun, broadcloth or felted wool sweaters) and the beaks are made of timber.  At the bottom, attach the clothespins so it can sit on such a twist, branch, or perhaps on the curtain, or leaving holes for the fingers so that the bird can be used as finger puppet.  You can also download a PDF of the birds and the pattern template.  Enjoy!
