Rather pretty with nice chrysanths, but dodgy bird, and cheep ;D I can't work out which way up he should go
-
:)
Sticks and branches towards the bottom, flowers towards the top.
I don't know which way up or down the bird goes. ;)
Would this have some age to it? I've certainly not seen a Chinese White before.

Looks like a robin to me, upside down but when you turn it round the foliage looks a bit odd ::) ;D

:o
I've only just "got" the upside-down robin - I thought it was a crow. I can see a sort of birdy face in one of the robin's wings - with an air bubble for an eye. I suspect the air bubble redirected my vague thoughts in the wrong direction.
Foliage can look odd, quite naturally. :)
I think it's a better robin than it is a crow, so you might just have to tolerate odd foliage. Or maybe just on odd days? You would then just have to tolerate an odd bird on the other days. ;D

Leni and Suzy said I should turn him round, so here he is. 1920-30s-40s

That is better.
Birds do go poking around the bottoms of bushes, if you get down to their level to watch them, the foliage can easily look like that.
