ARTISANS IN AMAZONAS MAKE HUMMINGBIRDS AND KESTRELS

Artisans learning to make a kestrel.... "This bird required the artisans to pay great attention to the details of its colors, beak, wings and talons, and Pablo did a superb job of guiding his charges to achieve high-quality in his or his group’s first attempt to make this bird.  I could see artisans frequently holding up their birds in progress next to each other to try and make them as consistent in shape and size as possible.  Once the main features were done, they all needed a bit of salon magic to lightly trim the “feathers” covering their throat so they didn’t look like gentlemen attending a ball with a fancy ruff."
