'Robins are my favourite bird ... I am a gardener and tree surgeon so I'm lucky to have frequent visits from these friendly little fellas, especially when I'm digging. I love their song and the way they land on my garden tools. One actually landed on my foot recently. They are the friendliest bird around and are rewarded for it by me with plenty of worms.'

'Kingfishers are probably my favourite looking bird. I could watch these beautiful creatures all day. The wings are not quite as accurate as I would like them to be due to the lack of the right pieces but I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out. I built a little slice of river and a twiggy perch for Kingsley so he looked more at home.' Photograph: Thomas Poulsom
'I love birds and the puffin is one of my favourites, they have so much character and are incredibly cute.' Photograph: Thomas Poulsom
'I sometimes hear woodpeckers knocking away at trees from my apartment. They are pretty easy to spot with their red flashes and I think they are wonderful birds.' Photograph: Thomas Poulsom
