a birthday gift

A few months ago I was out antiquing with my dad and I fell in love with this large brass bird statue.

My dad remembered how much I liked it and went back to the antique shop and surprised me with it for my birthday a few weeks ago. I was thrilled! It's style is somewhere between Hollywood Regency and Art Deco in style.

I know I want to keep it in the living room, but I'm not sure keeping it on the hearth will be a good idea since Tate will be crawling before we know it.
