I've corresponded with Paul Farber at http://www.tirecrafting.cokm about the tropical bird planter. Couldn't find a pattern. We're working on it, along with many other projects but don't have a pattern at this time nor could I find one, though I searched.

That's the way to make a swan planter. The parrots and tucans are more complicated.

Yeah, I looked all over and could only find people selling the toucan and parrot planters, noone selling the plans...
