There are 8 glittered bird place card holders. Can be used for pictures too. They are weighted so they don't fall over and are solid. I don't know the species of bird. The item is approx. 4.5'' with the holder. The birds measure about 2.5'' long by 2'' tall. Very pretty in the sunlight especially. They have black eyes and the wire is silver toned. Please view photos and specs. Thanks for looking.
