11. Yes that makes sense because the branches are works of art by themselves.

Then they entice the birds with food to come to the branch.

So how do they get the birds? Are they borrowed from someone?

Aren't they afraid they birds will fly away if these
are borrowed birds for the photo shoot?

If the birds are just native to the location and flying around,
how do they attract this particular bird?

Obviously the artistic branch is color coordinated to look great with this particular bird?
