Boxwood Birds

I stopped by Home Depot on my way home from work today to find some boxwoods. There weren't any 18 inch ones, so I grabbed a few of the small ones since they were a good price. Making the shrubs into birds wasn't quite as easy as the article suggested. It said "part the boxwood in the middle..." There was definitely nothing saying "...sometimes your plant will break in half. " I'm sure I would have remembered it. Anyway, I made two birds - hopefully they will look better as they grow and I'm able to shape them a bit more. I do have a third boxwood, but I'm going to try growing it for a while before I work on it.

P.S. - Please feel free to suggest names.
