Granny Nancy says:I like the idea of having the bird sitting on the branch Pam. But the branch (once we have more in stock) has 2 loops. Can we use a 2 looped branch with the bird sitting on the branch? Andrea, are single looped branches available (assuming they become available). Thanks, Love the birds… either way.
