Free Knitting Pattern for Bird Mobile by Meg Bakewell

I think this is a lovely idea, it would make the perfect, unusual, present for a new baby. The full instructions can be found on Knitty the pattern is called Flock. Meg said "You can use any combination of colors you like for your birds. This is an ideal knit-from-stash project because it uses small amounts of many different colors, and as long as they are of similar weights, they don’t need to be the same yarn" I can imagine one knitted in white too, this would make a nice christmas decoration, but that's one for later in the year! Meg has cleverly designed the frame for the mobile too. "I disguised the structural parts of the mobile as tree branches using I-cord twigs and garter-stitch leaves."
