Bird Jigsaw Puzzles: Feathers, Flight and Colour

Birds are nature's showpieces — brilliant colour, intricate feathers and dramatic poses. That makes them some of the most rewarding jigsaw puzzles to build.

Why birds make great puzzles

• Spectacular colour. A macaw or kingfisher gives you vivid, easy-to-place pieces.
• Feather detail. Plumage is rich texture — your eyes always have a pattern to follow.
• Drama. A bird in flight or mid-dive is a striking, dynamic image.

A challenge in the background

The bird is the easy part — it's the sky or foliage behind it that tests you. Build the subject first, then work the background by shape as much as colour.

Where to play

The animal category is full of birds, alongside big cats, wildlife and marine life. For more feathered favourites and the rest of the menagerie, see the best animal puzzles.
