For the Bird Watcher and Nature Lover

Once considered a niche hobby for older generations or scientific enthusiasts, bird watching has experienced a remarkable rise in popularity in recent years. Across cities, suburbs, forests, wetlands, and even backyards, people of all ages are picking up binoculars and bird guides to experience the joy of avian observation.

For years, Danforth has channeled its love of birds into our designs. From unique bird ornaments for collectors, to elegant jewelry, keepsakes and treasure boxes. The collection has grown to over 30 individual beautifully handcrafted birds, each one lovingly made and colored by our artisans.

Unlike many hobbies that require expensive gear or specific environments, birding can be done almost anywhere and by anyone. It encourages people to slow down, pay attention, and find joy in small, everyday wonders—like the bright flash of a cardinal. Our Cardinal Pewter Treasure Box is an homage to that most loved of birds. 

Our love of the natural world makes our pieces ideal gifts for bird enthusiasts. Featuring species like chickadees, owls, and hummingbirds—we capture the delicate details that birders cherish. These pieces are not only visually striking but also meaningful keepsakes that reflect a love of birds and the outdoors. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, holiday, or a special birding milestone, a Danforth Pewter gift is a timeless way to honor their passion.
