Kathy Boortz's playful sculptures of birds made of old pliers

Love birds? So does Texas-based artist Kathy Boortz, who creates colorful sculptures of owls, parrots and other avian creatures using wood, clay and metal. I love them all, but I have a special liking for her sculptures made out of found pliers. Notice the starling below. Love its beak and claws.
