San Francisco —

Recognizing what it calls a "growing demand for bird-themed home décor and accessories," supplier Peking Handicraft has introduced a collection of needlepoint dec pillows featuring a variety of bird designs in Songbirds, Finches and Parrots, created by artists Chad Barrett and D.L. Rhein.

Peking said the U.S. Forest Service has estimated that "70 million Americans go out at least once a year to watch birds."

The 14-inch-square, 16-inch-square and 14-by-16 dec pillows, set to retail from $50 to $90 each, are made of 100% wool and finished with fringe or cord.
