The court jeweler Carl Fabergé received from the Emperor complete freedom in the choice of subjects and design of Easter eggs, so he must have been well aware of the tastes and artistic preferences of the Empresses. Carl Fabergé was probably well aware of Maria Feodorovna's love of birds. There were many of them in the tsar's country residences, and in St. Petersburg's Anichkov Palace the dowager empress had a huge cage with countless feathered birds. In 1911 Fabergé made an Easter gift for the mother of Nicholas II called "Laurel Tree" with a "little bird" in its branches. Over 100 years later, with the help of a golden key, you can wind up the mechanism and hear it sing and flap its wings! 📸: Easter egg "Laurel Tree". St. Petersburg, 1911. The firm of Carl Fabergé.
