Comfort Birds

Comfort Birds were first carved by Frank Foust in 1982.  Since then woodcarvers all over the world have joined in and together with my woodcarving friends in the Capital District of Upstate NY we have given away hundreds of these little birds to groups like Hospice and Stride Adaptive Sports as well as to shelters for battered women and homeless vets.  They function like a worry stone and are a powerful stress reliever.  For more info, google Comfort Birds and you'll find an article titled "A Bird in the Hand" from Woodcarving Illustrated about Frank and his flock.

Actually when I was in 5th grade wood shop class in 1967 one of the projects we could make was a small simple wooden bird carving that could sit in your hand. I made it for my Mother of course. She kept it on her knick back shelf. It was there when she died and 14 years later when Dad died. It reverted back to me and sits in one of our 2 curio cabinets my wife keeps her bird figurine collection in. Now that I'm semi retired I may have a new hobby.
