Fruit Gobbler

I found this on the Family Fun website and thought it was so cute. I didn't make it. I just copied the picture from the site. I already know that cheese and grapes taste good. I just wanted the picture of it so I can have something to refer to whenever I get put back into a calling like Enrichment leader and I have to come up with cute ideas for the food table Bosc pear (head)
Melon (body)
Cheese (beak and tail feathers)
Red pepper (snood, feet and side feathers)
Raisins (eyes)
Grapes (tail feathers)
Bamboo skewers
Toothpicks

1. Stabilize the melon body by cutting a shallow slice off the rind to form a flat base. Using a section of bamboo skewer, attach a Bosc pear head to the melon, as shown.
2. Cut a cheese triangle beak and red pepper snood. Attach both, along with raisin eyes, to the head with sections of toothpick.
3. Cut red pepper feet and set them in place. For tail feathers, skewer cheese cubes and red grapes, then insert the skewers as shown. Pin pepper side feathers in place with toothpicks.
