Birdy pick of the week

Hans Bølling's wooden duck (£64) and duckling (£34), from the Design Museum shop. The story behind the inspiration for the pair is pretty cute, too:

"In Springtime Copenhagen, 1959, a policeman stopped the traffic in order to let a young family of ducks cross the street. The moment was captured by a photographer and created such an impression that all the newspapers published a now famous photograph of the ducks, which encapsulates the Danish attention to nature, detail and the ability to appreciate small everyday miracles."

So cure, and an even cuter story behind them!

Interesting. In the US the story is titled Make Way for Ducklings. I have a family of three ducks, just like these (different wood, same design) who were my grandmother's and I always wondered if there was a story behind them! Thanks!
