What customers say
Customer sentiment overwhelmingly praises the Hand-Painted Green Apple Pie Bird for its exceptional aesthetic appeal and charming novelty.

Know before you buy
A pie bird acts as a chimney, allowing steam to escape from the filling while the pie bakes. This prevents the filling from boiling over and helps the crust stay crisp rather than becoming soggy from trapped moisture.
Yes, its height provides structural support to the center of the top crust. This prevents the dough from sagging into the filling as it softens during the baking process.
It is oven safe up to 450°F. This covers the temperature range for most standard fruit pie recipes.
Because of the hand-painted details, this piece is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it with mild soap and warm water to preserve the finish.
At 3 inches tall, this pie bird is designed to sit comfortably in most standard-depth pie plates. Just ensure your pie dish is at least 3 inches deep to accommodate the bird.
