Wildfowl Carving Magazine is a great source for habitat information. In one issue they write:
Creating habitat for your bird should be a fun and exciting stage of any project. You have a wide range of subjects to choose from and many ways to present and build them. One style I like is a non-pedestal presentation—a freestanding habitat on which the bird perches. That’s the approach I chose when it came time to design a new presentation for a black-capped chickadee, and I decided to place the bird on an aspen branch. In this article, I’ll show you how I created the branch. You can apply these techniques to many other types of habitat and presentations.
It’s easy to gather reference material for a project like this. Simply go outside and clip a branch that has a few leaves on it. Make your leaf patterns by outlining the leaves you like, or simply copy them on a copy machine. When fall approaches you might collect a few more leaves to get a sense of the color changes that occur as the year winds down.
