Since 1997 these delightful bird nutcrackers have been issued in limited quantities 
during Ulbricht's U.S. signing tour.  A handful of shops are selected each year to 
host a signing event with Christian, Gunther or Ines Ulbricht.

2010 will mark the fourteenth consecutive bird design to be released in this series.  
But it all began with the "Woodpecker" in 1997, a replica of a nutcracker, originally 
made by Christian Ulbricht's father, Otto in 1933 to comemmorate the birth of his 
son Christian.

These delightful miniature bird nucrackers are highly sought after and typically 
sell out during the signing events, perhaps because they look great sitting out 
all year long.

Below you'll find that we have some of the older Tour Birds from previous years 
still available.  The 2010 Bird is a beautiful white Dove of Peace!
