And now for my final bird keychain (for now) and my entry to #amigurumishowcase ! Kingfishers used to be my favourite bird before they were usurped by magpies. They’re a fascinating bird, looming on branches overlooking ponds before diving down into the water to catch fish. This keychain is a female thanks to her orange belt that gives the species its name; males lack the belt.

This little keychain is about the same size as my cardinal, standing about 3” (~7.6 cm) tall excluding the keychain and 2.75” (7 cm) from belly to tailtip. There will special instructions to work the keychain directly into the crest, but you can easily skip the keychain if you’d like a little perching buddy.
