We Think the World of Birds - 1000pc Jigsaw Puzzle

With dazzling color and barely contained energy, Charley Harper’s We Think the World of Birds shows all the birds that live within Sapsucker Woods in Ithaca, New York. Hey wait a minute, you say, the Florida scrub-jay doesn’t live in New York! Okay, so Harper also included a few birds of special significance to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, for whom this painting was commissioned. Not only does the artwork celebrate their feathered friends but each bird depicted represents a conservation initiative or research program of the Lab’s scientists.

The Lab truly does think the world of birds, as did Harper, a longtime conservationist. In fact, for this work he re-imagined the world in the shape of a bird’s egg rather than a sphere—a fun bit of artistic license, we think. 

Thoughtfully conceived and engagingly intricate, this 1,000-piece interlocking jigsaw puzzle combines superb color reproduction, stunning and unusual images, and sturdy construction to delight generations of novice and veteran puzzleworkers.
