Love Birds (LEGO 21365)

About this set

This Love Birds (LEGO 21365) is a LEGO Ideas set in the scene category with a part count of 750 and a difficulty rating of 5/5, making it one of the more demanding builds in its range. The finished model shows two pink brick-built birds perched on a brown trunk and branches, accented with green flowers and foliage, all sitting on a base support, with the palette kept to pink, brown, green and white. When building, I would lock the base and brown trunk together first, then work out the branch splits, and finally attach the two pink birds to the branches so the structure does not wobble while you fiddle with placement. The 750 pieces are spread across the tree body, the flowers and the layered feathering on the birds, and the 5/5 difficulty comes mainly from the branch connections and the mirrored construction of the birds, with small parts and fine steps throughout. It suits builders with some experience, or anyone after pink and green parts for a nature-themed MOC. The result is a static display scene, with birds and tree fixed to the base, so lift it by the base support when moving it.
