You Could Almost Believe,

these are real birds,

that have been pictured mid flight,

but you would be wrong, they are in fact made of paper, they are the work of Diana Beltran Herrera, from Columbia, she is a designer and artist that has been working over the past year with paper as the primary medium in the production of her work, she observed local birds in her city of Bogotá and did Internet research on these species, identifying them and learning about their behaviour and habitat, the artist also met with members of an ornithology group that provided more information, each bird takes 5 days to 2 weeks to produce, depending upon how big or complex the bird is, so next time I have some paper and a pair of scissors watch the feathers fly!
