Three Birds on her Hand, 1901 - whimsical ink painting by Gretchen Kelly

9"x12" ink
I'd like to think these birdies flew free and that they came to rest on her hand as a daily visit on Rocky Point in Rowayton, Ct..
Was the relationship between species without fear in 1901 when this photo was taken?
Here is another photo that I found inspiration from the whimsy of an era gone by.
