Mango Birds Fruit Art


Hi friends, I am back with another beautiful fruit art using just a knife. One evening when I asked my daughter what fruit art should we make with mangoes, she said let's make birds mommy. And she added that yellow birds will look cute. Well, I think they definitely turned out cute.

To make this fruit art you need a few strawberries, one mango, and edible googly eyes. Then I added a couple of apple slices and few blueberries to get enough fruits on her plate. You can substitute with whatever fruits are available in your kitchen that you think might suit the design.

First I sliced a big chunk of mango going right next to the seed and then using the tip of my knife I traced a bird shape. After making sure I like the shape I went around again going a little bit deeper.

Then I pushed the bird shape inside out and sliced under the bird all the way. Check out the video at the bottom of the post for any clarifications.

For strawberry hearts, first I cut each strawberry vertically half. Then from the top, I cut out a small 'V' shape and curved around the edges. I used these strawberry hearts for bird's wings and to add some love on the top.

Slice two thin pieces of apple to form a ground (on which birds are standing). And I added a line of blueberries that look like rocks in our art.

I also cut 2 small triangles out of grapes for bird's beaks and 4 tiny rectangles for legs. If you don't have edible googly eyes on hand then you can always cut 2 small circles out of blueberries for eyes.
