Audubon Pair of Kissing Passenger Pigeons Glass Tree Decoration

This stunning reproduction of John James Audubon’s Plate 62 from Birds of America captures a poignant moment between a pair of Passenger Pigeons, an extinct species that was once the most abundant bird in North America. The male and female are depicted perched together, appearing to share a tender kiss—a rare, intimate glimpse into the lives of these once-plentiful birds. Known for their massive flocks that could darken the skies for hours as they passed, Passenger Pigeons were a symbol of nature’s abundance. Audubon’s illustration, showing just two of these birds, contrasts with their historical numbers, evoking both their beauty and the tragedy of their extinction. This print serves as a reminder of the delicate balance of nature and the importance of conservation, making it a meaningful addition for bird enthusiasts, history buffs, and art collectors.
