Created in 1976, these bird mobiles are 3D papercraft models. They are made up of a set of various color-printed cardboard pieces. Cutting and assembling them provides hours of exciting creative fun. The order in which the pieces must be assembled is precisely indicated and must be strictly followed according to the instructions.
To be assembled with an adult's help, or alone from about 12 years old.
These birds are imported from the United Kingdom in partnership with Quelle est Belle Company.
“You might think I’m a bit of a crackpot, but oh well…”
From the age of 6, François Morel (not the actor, mind you) began to get fascinated by birds.
“I’m completely crazy about them, that’s for sure. When I was very small, what I wanted was to talk to animals. I believe it works. Thanks to my vocal tools, I manage to get a little closer to the birds, listen to them, answer them, and have, from time to time, exchanges…”
A naturalist and ornithologist, François Morel devotes a passion to crafting his bird calls. Rather than using them for hunting, François wanted the calls to become a tool for observing birds.
To create these instruments, he combines two qualities. “It’s a story of craftsmanship and a love story.”
He established his company, “Quelle est belle company,” more than forty years ago in the Diois region, in the north of the Drôme.
Good to know 😉: Björk recently fell in love with his work. She released a Deluxe version of her album “Utopia” accompanied by 14 bird calls, the “Utopia Bird Call Box,” manufactured by QBC.
