Three little red birds that perch on a shelf edge and bring a spot of color to any bare ledge

At a Glance

  • Set: 3 cardinals, three different poses
  • Size: 6 x 5 in, 5 x 5 in and 5 x 5 in
  • Material: painted MDF
  • Color: red with white accents
  • Use: indoor shelf, mantel or windowsill

A bookshelf, kitchen ledge or bathroom windowsill often gets skipped at Christmas because most decor is too big for it. These three cardinal shelf sitters are 5 in tall and 1 in thick, freestanding on their own flat base, so they sit on a narrow ledge without tipping. Each bird is a different pose, cut from MDF and painted a bright red with white accents, in a clean modern style that suits a neutral room as well as a traditional one.

Key Features

  • Three different poses: one 6 in wide bird and two 5 in wide birds, each a distinct cardinal silhouette
  • Freestanding: a flat 1 in base lets each bird stand on its own with no hanger or easel
  • Bright red with white accents: the classic cardinal red that pops against white shelves and green pine
  • 5 in tall: small enough for a narrow ledge, a windowsill or a stair riser
  • Painted MDF: a smooth, lightweight cut-out, 1 lb for the whole set, easy to move around
  • Modern style: simple graphic shapes rather than fussy detail, easy to mix with other decor

What's Included

In the box: three cardinal shelf sitters in three different designs, one 6 in wide and two 5 in wide.

Before You Buy

  • These are flat painted MDF silhouettes, not carved or resin figures. The clean graphic profile is what makes them read modern, and it lets them sit on a ledge only 1 in deep
  • They are small, 5 in tall and 5 to 6 in wide. Size them for a shelf, mantel edge or windowsill accent rather than a floor or entry table centerpiece
  • You get three different designs, and MDF swells if it gets wet. The varied poses look natural grouped or spread along a shelf, and they belong indoors away from steam and sinks

Perfect For

  • A bookshelf or open kitchen shelf styled for Christmas
  • A mantel edge in front of the garland
  • A windowsill, stair riser or bathroom ledge
  • A winter cardinal theme that stays up through January

Care & Use

  • Stand each bird on a flat, level surface; the 1 in base keeps it upright.
  • Dust with a soft dry cloth and keep away from water and steam.
  • Store flat in the box so the painted edges do not chip.

Shipping

Packed to protect the painted edges and shipped from CurbGo with tracking, typically arriving in 3 to 5 business days. Covered by a 30 day return window if it is not right for your space.

Why these shelf sitters work

Fits a 1 in ledge

Each bird is 1 in thick with a flat bottom, so it stands on a picture ledge, window trim or the front edge of a mantel, the narrow spots where most Christmas decor tips over or falls off.

Three poses, one flock

A 6 in bird and two 5 in birds in different silhouettes look like a real group when lined up along a shelf, instead of three copies of the same shape standing in a row.

Color that carries past Christmas

Cardinal red with white accents reads as winter, not only Christmas, so the set can stay out on the shelf through January and February, long after the tree comes down and until the snow is gone.

The numbers that matter

Three small birds for a narrow ledge.

How does this compare to other cardinal decor?

vs. resin cardinal figurines

These flat MDF cut-outs weigh 1 lb for all three and stand on a ledge a resin bird would tip off.

vs. glass cardinal ornaments

Shelf sitters stand on their own with no branch or hook, so they decorate the places a tree does not reach.

vs. a single large cardinal

Three different poses let you spread a little red across a whole shelf or mantel instead of one spot.

Fits your shelf or mantel

Three small freestanding birds. Here is how they size up.
