Bird Toothpick Holder

Are you interested in bird toothpick holders? Toothpick holders can be a more elegant option than keeping toothpicks in the box they came in and come in many different styles. A bird toothpick holder in particular may come in several different materials (such as synthetic plastics or cast iron steel) and sizes. There are also a variety of birds--from common starlings to hornbills--that can adorn toothpick holders.

About Bird Toothpick Holders

There are several different types of toothpick holders featuring birds that generally fall into one of two categories: either toothpick holders where the bird is physically holding the toothpick or toothpick holders that feature bird embellishments somewhere on them.

Each of these styles has its own set of pros and cons. Holders where the bird physically holds the toothpick can be entertaining to guests and original. However, they can also appear tacky and lowbrow to some. A holder that features a bird can be a clever decorative piece with a purpose. However, if it is made of fragile material, it can also break quite easily.

Where To Shop

If you have been looking for a toothpick holder featuring avian life, there are a few options. One of the most affordable options is the Bird Toothpick Dispenser available at Amazon.com. The holder features a brightly colored toucan-like bird on a plastic box. The box holds the toothpick while the bird's beak dispenses each individual toothpick at the touch of a button. Antique websites such as Betty Ann's Antiques or Valentines Antique Gallery can also be a great place to find holders. One such holder featured at Betty Ann's Antiques is a glass honey amber colored holder with a large winged bird adorned to the side. A holder featured on Valentine Antiques features a 1.75 inch high green bowl with a separate common bird attached at the base. For those interested in more interpretive holders, Unicahome features a ceramic bird holder that can provide you with a unique an ornamental style.
