With all this talk of Twitter in the air, it's only fitting we'd have birds on the brain. Our feathered friends have long been an inspiration to artists and designers across the board; and having a few birdies perched around the house not only brings in style, but more importantly, a smile.

Here are our picks of bird-inspired home accessories, available right here in your own backyard...
