Sweet!!! I have some very similar except they are ones that I use at Christmas and not birds, but horses. It even has the beading and little stuffed figurines. I bought them in Poland close to the Russian border years ago. They are packed up, but, if you remind me next year, I would love to show them to you.
I love your story and these are the type of thing that memories are made of. Have a brilliant day, my friend.

They really are full of memories, aren't they? And we can keep them out all the time. I'm looking forward to seeing the ones you have next Christmas!
Me neither!! How cool!!
