These antique style scissors have been around for decades! While they can be referred to as any number of birds– peacock, stork, sparrow, magpie, pelican, etc. I like to think of them as bluebirds, simply because of my love for a certain aesthetically animated tv show. While I can’t guarantee that these scissors can lift the curse off your family, and turn you from a bird back into a human again… you can use these for your day to day needs. They will arrive sharp and ready to use. These are not heavy duty scissors, so they are best for crafting, sewing, and normal use.
