Poster - Wren and the nest

What do we see in this poster?

This mural, printed on a poster, shows us a native songbird. The wren is well known in Germany, but it is also native to large parts of Europe and East Asia. In this country it is known as a particularly dynamic songbird that prepares its nest primarily in the undergrowth of the forest. That is exactly what we can look at in this work. The wren has built its niche near the forest floor, and another resident looks out curiously from it. The color green predominates in the image and embodies the soul of the forests in which the wren lives. But here and there bright red berries catch our eye and lead us over white and blue flowers to the main characters of this work. Why not bring this intelligent and dynamic bird into your home?

Where can this poster hang?

This mural printed on a poster is particularly suitable for friends of our local flora and fauna. It brings the energy of nature close to us and lets us think closer to the forests.
