Know before you buy
The legs are constructed from flexible, felt-wrapped wire. You can gently bend them to help the ornament stand upright on a flat surface or wrap them around a tree branch for a perching effect.
While the ornament is crafted from sturdy, high-quality wool, it is designed primarily as a decorative piece. It is soft to the touch, but the wire structure inside the legs should be handled with care to maintain its shape.
The ornament measures approximately 4-1/2 inches from beak to tail, making it a noticeable but lightweight addition to a holiday tree or a tabletop display.
This certification ensures that the artisans in Nepal who hand-felted the ornament are paid fair wages and work in safe, ethical conditions. It guarantees that your purchase directly supports sustainable livelihoods for these skilled craftspeople.
Yes. Because of its artistic, handcrafted design and versatile display options, it works well as a year-round accent on bookshelves, houseplant branches, or desks.
