This is a vintage-style illustration of two birds perched on a plant. The bird on top is black with a blue sheen and red and yellow markings on its wings. It appears to be pecking at the head of the bird below. The bird below is a vibrant blue and red plaid, with a red scarf around its neck. It is lying on its side, seemingly asleep or unconscious. The plant has long, green leaves and small, yellow flowers. A small label with the word 'lard' is attached to one of the branches. The illustration is done in a detailed, hand-drawn style, with delicate shading and coloring. The background is a pale, off-white color. At the bottom of the image, the words 'BUTCHER BIRDS' are printed in a decorative, vintage font.
