Foster Story

Item #2037

Collector Society Artwork Series

(May, 1991) Foster joins the Collector Society Artwork Series tradition of working to protect the precious things in nature. Some of my Woodspirits in this series are feeding birds. Foster, however, is in charge of the foster parent agency for baby birds. He collects abandoned eggs and then finds a good foster parent bird to raise them. Foster has been searching the forest in his camouflage leaf hat, and now has a basket full of homeless eggs. This is the moment when he is asking the Carolina chickadee to care for some of needy charges. The chickadee has yet to give his answer, but Foster is obviously a good salesman. How can the chickadee resist that excited look on Foster’s face? By the way, how did those eggs get here in the first place? Why, the stork (on the Korean coin) brought them!
