I love the shadows they cast… so pretty, and guaranteed to make you smile! The single ‘Big Bird’ mobiles come in 9 bright colours – Red, orange, yellow, purple, lilac, blue, lime, black and white! Each bird measures 26 x 35cm, and is valued at $85.00.
Madeleine has offered one of her beautiful single Big Bird mobiles as a giveaway for one lucky Design Files reader – and, excitingly, the winner gets to choose their fave colour! (for a good look at all the colours, pop over to Maddi’s online store!).

A little white birdie told me that she would love to come and live in my nest and I said that she’d have to be a clever bird and spread the word to you, so….
“Please let me live with Felicity, she has a lovely feathered nest and a bright litte room for me to ‘hang’ out with her family.”
Fingers and wings crossed,
Felicity x
ooh.. all so delicious! I think orange is a winner for me today. But they are all lovely, it’s hard to decide.
Love the yellow… please, please, please

who knows a bird?
I do, a chickadee
what does a chickadee say?
chickadee chickadee fly through my window
chickadee chickadee fly through my window
chickadee chickadee fly through my window
and find molasses candy
fly through my window my sugar lump
fly through my window my sugar lump

I would love to see these (purple) hanging from my deck,as I live in Brisbane my deck is a main living area and I could enjoy and share in Madeline’s creative spirit everyday.

One of these bird’s would be a great gift for my daughter in law Jenna Agius, who is having a birthday today and a baby in a couple of weeks
Cheep Cheep! Black looks good to me!
How perfectly whimsical these are! The red is the standout colour for me!
I like the purple and the white birds. The white one would go with my nightstand…
the beautiful happy green birdy would without a doubt brighten my grey cloudy days and promise hope of a bright springtime to come…(though I hate to discriminate…they are all bird-a-liscous…) x
Hi Lucy and thanks for the give away Madeleine! I’d love a white one please! X
So many wonderfully creative people in Melbourne! Love love love Madeline’s birds, especially the red one! Thanks for sharing another amazing local talent :-)
Those who desire the freedom of birds have never built a nest!

a little yellow birdy would be sweet! This little gift for my wife would make her tweet!
These are lovely. What talent! I’m inspired and impressed and proud, I love hearing about clever Melbournians! My favourite colour would have to be the white one.
I have my eye on the lovely green bird! Sooo pretty :)
OK LOVE the white and black ones (can’t pick between them).
Yellow. Yes, yellow. Little splash of sunshine at the window…
Wow – theses are amazing!!
Why these little birdies are rather awesome! You are correct Lucy…Madeleine’s illustrations ARE incredible.
‘Black bird singing in the dead of night…’

Yippeee!
These are beautiful! I’d love one in blue for my little boy.
… i once saw a bird in my jello,
he looked a delightfully fun fellow
when i asked him join me
for some shortbread and tea…
he was gone, in a flash, of just yellow!
LOVE the pink, have been following Madeleine’s blog and secretly coveting these for a while now!
So so gorgeous! I love the yellow too!
These are great! The black one would be perfect to hang over my newly renovated sitting area in the front room. Having said that, it may just give me the impetus I need to damn well finish the reno! :-)
birds and blogs the perfect combination. gggggggggreen please.
So sweet! Black is the new black, is it not? So, it would have to be black for me. Ta.
I can’t decide!
Ok, I’ll pick the red one!
Every birdie is soooooo delightful…..white would have to be my pick…..for today!
Beautiful red birdy please!
The lavender bird is divine x
A blue bird is the prettiest in my opinion! Very lovely, thank you!
I’d love me some yellow big bird love please.
after much deliberation, i’ve surprised myself by finding the purple bird to be my favourite. so lovely!
So beautiful! I’d love a lavender bird to sing at my window!
These are fantastic! I would love one in red please!
new niece has her finger on the ORANGE fly away.
I am expecting my first baby and think that the dark purple or dark green big bird mobile would look so lovely in our babies nursery. Pick me!
Cool! Red bird!
Love the black one.
I rarely enter giveaways, but here I am – I LOVE them! The Blue Birds speak to me, so hopefully they’ll find a new home here soon! jx
These are brilliant. The colours are awesome. I can clearly visualize them hanging solo in a white room
I would love the big white bird – I love the idea of it not being always clearly visible, but that its shadow would be…
oh my, I thought I was getting in early at 9:30 am! Looks like I’m not the only one who subscribes to this fantabulous blog (surprise surprise!) I loooove these birdies! And all the other stuff by maddi. If I had the simple pleasure of winning I’d choose red. no wait…orange!
fingers crossed!
Simply beautiful … would love a red one for my sister’s country garden! May even keep the locusts away!! Thank you so much!
These are beautiful! I’d love a red or green thanks :) I like how you’ve got them all hanging so I think I’ll have to buy some more!!
How very cool!!! I’d love a white one :) Thankyou!! x
Gorgeous birds. An orange one would be fantastic if I was lucky enough to win – thanks!
I think the black or the white would fit in with all my turtle dove homies. Probably black – they are all soooo cute though, its hard to decide. Black. Black. Black. What lovely work!
They’re all so scrump-diddly-umpcious! I love lilac, green, yello, orange… who am I kidding they’re all awesome! Thanks for the chance to add to my birdie collection :)
Great giveaway! I’m partial to the yellow!
I think I’d love a red one- though I’m sure if I got one I’d be extremely tempted to start a collection!
So beautiful.
I love them all! If I had to choose I’d say orange :) Pretty please…
My 5 year old said ” They are cute because their feathers are little cuuties” high pitched squeal…we would love the bright yellow one x
My little Henrietta (14 months) is facinated with “Bir-bee’s” (her first real word!!), and would love a Lilac one hanging above her cot.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I think that the purple one is my favourite .. but then they are all gorgeous!
I think I would choose the purple… how many purple birds do you see now-a-days?
Plus it reminds me of the bird from Up! Kevin’s a girl? Classic :)
I like black the best
My 5 month old daughter says yes please!
How cool! Wish she’d shrink them down to jewellery size! My gut favourite is purple, but I can’t help but think that red or blue or orange would look so lovely swaying in the breeze in the outdoor undercover area I plan to cobble together this summer (in our unused carport). Near the daybed, and the faux-persian outdoor rug.
So fresh and cheerful
Beautiful! I love the black one please…. or the green… very cute.
Red! Although it was super difficult to pick. They’re brilliant!
White would be quite nice, if I’m lucky! I unintentionally created a bird theme in my bedroom, so Madeleine’s friend would feel quite at home with me!
ooh I love all of the colours, they look great together
But I do love the black ones, yes black it is : )
I love anything bird!
Lovely juicy yellow please
Any spring colour for me orange, yellow or red. They remind me of the PaperCuts. LUSH!
It is too hard to choose just one! It must be RED!
xx
Have just the place at home for an orange birdie.
If I have to choose it would have to be lilac, but they are all gorgeous. They must make amazing shadows when hung in the sun.
So hard to choose! But red is definitely my favourite colour.
Yellow, yellow, a hundred times yellow!
Also I would probably hang this in my Pre-K classroom for my students to enjoy!
I loooove the yellow bird! I would love a cheery early bird to hang in my window
for me world P E A C E day is G R E E N ;-) x
Purple… Obviously for me!! Wow what a gorgeous product and amazing prints at her online store…Kudos to Design Files, always bringing us something a little bit unique and spesh!
Wow, I thought I was reading this blog early at 10.15am….would looovvvvveeee the green birdy!!! Please please please………
Yellow please!
Oooooh. Me likey, especially the orangey one!
These are just so cute and summery. What a talented lady! I shall definitely be procrastinating today by checking out her blog and shop!
a beautiful blue bird would be lovely, thank you
How delightful! A gorgeous yellow birdy would brighten any space. Please count me in for the draw.
wow! they are just lovely. it’s so hard to choose one colour but i’m thinking the sunny yellow is my favourite.
These are so sweet, I would love one in lime! thanks!
The birdies are so cute, just gotta love the orange ones – perfect to hang above the (soon-to-pop-out) baby crib! I was just lying in bed this morning listening to the blackbirds wake up admiring their tune, well I would have admired it even more if it wasn’t 5.30am!!!
A symphony of well-fed, sleeping birds, a vision of content and freedom. Just like my son leo.
He would love a (unisex) red one for his nursery. Mumma Susa
oh my goodness…a bit of competition for this one! continuing my love affair with yellow, i would love a gorgeous little birdie to hang up in the boathouse!
thanks lucy and madeleine xx
How super sweet are these? And what a simple idea to bring a bit of cheer to a place. The purple is my fave ( I think). Actually I’m just smiling at the whole concept of fun mobiles for adults.
The orange is adorable!! =)
A gorgeous yellow birdie to brighten up our lives please!
Black please!!
Such calm looking birds. Although… I prefer the black. x x
i would love a black bird singing in the dead of night.

Being a ‘finch’ by name and a longstanding fan of Madeleine’s work I would LOVE to win one of these gorgeous birds! Red, White or black would be my favourites! :)
This would be such a lovely gift for my first girlfriend to have a baby! The lilac one would be just perfect for her new little girl…
I love Madeleine’s work – she is so clever! I asked my 5 year old daughter which colour she liked the best – and we both thought the Emerald green one would look beautiful in our house.
These are all gorgeous … but I’d love to adopt a red one! PS. have just discovered this blog and loving it – on speed dial every morning :)
We would love to have a black bird in our house. So gorgeous!
soo cute! love them! they would be gorgeous anywhere inside or out and even adds an element of fun to any interior! If I had the to choose…I’d love a yellow one! Keeps the element of fun even on a rainy day!
I think the purple birdie would be an excellent start to my collection.
Red would bring beautiful colour to our roof garden which is surrounded by light industry. Thanks for the chance to win one!
They are so beautiful they remind me of Frieda Kahlo. I love the ORANGE one.
So cute, I would love the red one please.
YELLOW is my favourite….would look wonderful hanging in my old vintage birdcage in the garden
thanks
Love Madeleine’s work and her blog. Birdies are so cute! would love the purple one.

So many comments…so many people wanting a birdie…if I were to be lucky enough I would graciously accept any bird…but if I were even more lucky to be able to pick a colour I would say purple please…there is a perfectly sunny spot on my kitchen window sill with this birdies name on it. Ta for the daily love x
these are awesome. i love the yellow, red, orange, purple… i think yellow would be my first pick.
Bring on Spring …….with these gorgeous birdies. My little girl would yell with delight to see one in her bedroom window. Lilac colour please. :)

While I save for some blinds I’d love to see a yellow bird bask in the sunshine.
‘birdie birdie’ my little man squawked with delight. We would love a little bird
to head west for the spring. x
These birds are divine! I’m loving the little yellow one!
Oh so lovely! The aqua is beautiful, but that white is hard to resist!
Oh which to choose. I’d have to say white !! When in doubt I always go classic (white). All are sweet though.
Orange is my favorite!
All colours look beautiful! Would like any but love the white the most!
A black bird, beside my bed, singing songs in my head…………
Very pretty. If I had to choose it would be red. Then I could hang it on the Christmas wreath. Thanks.
I can’t go past the red bird!!!
all the colours are splendid.
eenie meenie miney mo……
LIME!
OMG I love the Yellow birdie… so bright and happy :D
one of these funky little bird would be the perfect addition to my latest space – the nusery. Any colour would look fabulous but i think my fav is the canary yellow
any except green! so pretty ☁☼☮♡✌☺♪
ooh, would love a blue bird!
Yay – another great giveaway. Thanks Madeleine and TDF. I’d love a red bird. Or a yellow one. They’re all v.pretty.

xxx elle
ps Love red but love all the colours!
I would have to say the yellow one! Very cool.
Madeleine’s illustrations are gorgeous. Love the orange bird.
A hard choice between black and purple, I think I’d say black under pressure. Love it!
I love the timber one, but I guess that’s not an option since it’s not in the picture. So I have to say the white one. I love the way it drops the shadow on the wall. And it would look really nice in my window! Please let one bird move to sweden for winter!
Beautiful! Tough choice… but yellow wins!
So sweet! Lime green birdy please
White White White… always so fashionable and timeless! Gorgeous design!
What a treat for my room,
My housemates would swoon!
Standing out from the Herd,
My choice, the beautiful black bird!
“Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise”
Madeleine’s inspirational artwork is as timeless as The Beatles’ song,
The Black Bird is my favourite, but they all enchanting.
lovely little birdies…all fab colours…but i think i have to favour the bright ORANGE birdy!

Thanks Lucy & Madeleine!
Black is best, so cute

Oh it’s so difficult to choose! I love the white, and the black, and the lime! But I keep going back to the lilac – so that’s my favourite :) I would love to have this hanging in our room – once we’ve finished the renovating and painting of course!
