This SmolBird Ornament is nice for your desk year round or maybe your Christmas tree at that time of the year. I originally intended it to make our birdfeeder look more busy, and to attract more birds, but it's more likely to find a home on our tree.
Based on an initial bird-shape from @Nikola, I've added eyes, legs and a different tail shape, and made it a bit easier to print cleanly on my setup (perhaps yours too?)
Assemble with the pegs. With a scarf on the birb, it'll hold together nicely, or you can put a bit of glue between the halves, or just on the pegs if you wish.
One of the pegs has angled ends and dots in the centre to be the eyeballs. Rotate it until it looks good. Try a different colour filament for nice contrast
For the feet, a bit of glue holds them in place. If you wish, you can adjust the foot angle to get a good stand-up balance. Just warm the ankles slightly (one at a time) with a soldering iron. It takes a light touch, or the feet don't fall off though. Careful! If you mess up, fear not as you can print them again in about 20 minutes at very little cost.
Printing the feet at a bit slower speed is a good way to get good results with them as they're rather tiny. A different filament colour for them is fun too.
Print a whole flock for optimal enjoyment.
