This pair of embroidered birds are in great condition, backed on black velvet with a wood frame. It happens maybe once out of every ten items, where when I google ("I backtraced it...") the item I can actually come across someone else selling, or having previously sold or listed the same item I'm looking for and that's helpful to give me some sort of idea of the 'value' of the décor. There's a whole lot I have to say about that in general and I'd love to longform some sort of personal response to "perceived" and "personal" value of objects using items of my own as examples (ie, the teddy bear I was given on the day I was born is worth a few bucks vs the teddy bear I was given on the day I was born is priceless) but this is an inappropriate forum for that, trapped within an item description of these two, beautiful avian creatures.

Getting back to topic, while googling I've found one or the other but never both together, and it made me feel like maybe these were long lost friends. I google once more "Do Goldfinch and Robins get on with each other?" and got a slew of mixed answers that mostly solidified my own lived experiences. 

Birds don't really care for other birds. 

Birds of the same nature seem to get on with each other quite well. I'll see grackles rolling ten deep with each other, picking away at things. I've watched from our apartment balcony corvid type birds take shifts picking away at an rabbit's unfortunate timed crossing of a busy roadway. One after the other. But unfortunately I've rarely seen two different types of birds share a space. They're either battling for territory or like a slow game of basketball, back and forth driving each other away, repeating, one point team starling one point team sparrow.  For hours.

So whereas the laws of nature seem to NOT want this Goldfinch and Robin piece paired, I figured it was the only place (i could find) on the internet you can grab them both together, and they work well as a pair, so let's lead by example and maybe these things will learn to play well with each other in time.
