Glass Kakaruwai/South Island Robin v.4
Product details:
Handmade suncatcher using the Tiffany (copperfoil) method. Each bird is unique, with a very slightly different cut of glass!
NZ native kakaruwai/South Island robin in opaque grey/green, iridescent white, and black glass, with wire legs & whiskers. Each robin has a secure hanging loop, and is strung with thin leather cord.
Measures 14cm in length, and 11cm in width; hanging length is 20cm.
Packaged with recycled materials to avoid generating unnecessary waste! Can be shipped within NZ and worldwide. Courier is used to ensure your glassy friend arrives intact!
The inspiration:
The kakaruwai/South Island robin is endemic to NZ, mostly spotted foraging for invertebrates on the ground and curiously monitoring human visitors in mature forest and scrub habitats. Today, the robins' main threat is predation by introduced mammalian predators such as stoats, possums, feral cats, and ship rats; predators eliminate the young and nesting females, causing a male-biased population to result.
Care:
- Made with materials that contain lead. The risk is minimal, but as a precaution wash hands after handling to avoid ingesting particles.
- Best kept inside for longevity.
