Brainstorming Birds--Large Cubes

So to refresh our memory I have included notes from tonight's class at the very bottom of this post.
Here are cool egg imagery with feather and shells. BUT I wan to propose another story to tell, bird toys. Props like a latter, swing, ring links , perch (just a few ideas) we pick three, one for each cube. Shoes will be displayed like a bird hanging, swinging, sitting etc. on the toy. Here are a few examples minus the color scheme. What do you think??

Egg Sculpture

speckle eggs and cracked shell. These are the feathers I'd like to use, some are spotty and fluffy-like. I bet we could make the speckled eggs ourselves with ink splashes.

Class Notes for BIRD theme:
Black Birds......Accent colors will be turquoise, pink, and yellow.

Focus on finding shades of black (grays) in a variety to add depth and dimension.
