Do You Love Beautiful, Bright Birds That Are Handmade? I Have One For You!
This vibrant male Baltimore Oriole ~ Icterus Galbula ~ stands at 10.5cm tall. He is made entirely by hand using sustainably sourced materials, including merino wool, silk and vintage fabrics, vintage feathers, silk threads, wood and glass eyes.
Baltimore Orioles are agile feeders that comb the high branches of trees in search of insects, flowers and fruit.
When courting, the male displays by hopping around the female, bowing forward and spreading his wings to reveal his orange back.
Each bird is unique. He has a needle-felted body and is hand stitched with carefully selected silks to replicate the natural colourings of the Oriole.
He stands at 10.5cm tall, and 23cm tail to beak.
He stands independently and will suit any display space.
Each bird is uniquely numbered and dated on the leg ring with a makers mark.
