Red Breasted Nuthatch

Little bundles of joy and energy in nature, our carved Red Breasted Nuthatch will not disappoint when added to your home decor. This popular bird has been painted to show its beautiful markings, with a red breast, soft blue coat of feathers, and distinctive black markings on its face. Nuthatches are the only birds that can walk in any direction on a tree, up, down, or sideways. We offer two options, the Red Breasted Nuthatch, perched facing up, or the White Breasted Nuthatch, perched facing down. Our wood-carved Nutchatch is a unique addition to any home decor, coastal, traditional, or anywhere you want to bring nature into the room. This bird is entirely hand-crafted with delicate carving, painted with incredible detail, and then finished with wax polish. Our perched, hand-carved Nuthatch is 8" tall. 

We're delighted to offer a large selection of beautiful birds for your enjoyment. These birds are fairly traded using sustainable softwood and non-toxic paints. 

Anna & David create unique birds derived from a meeting between indigenous folk art and western aesthetics. From home on Vancouver Island, surrounded by the sea, mountains and an abundance of birds, they have much to inspire them and offer designs that bring simple yet refined examples of natures greatest inspiration. They have been working closely with the same three families of carvers for over 7 years, drawing on the villages centuries old techniques to realize beautiful products. Using Albesia and Coffee wood, these fast growing timbers come from sustainable farming practices for continued harvest and regrowth.

Please note: the bases are intended to look as natural as possible. They are cut raw and left to the elements. Sun, rain and even insects all have a part to play in creating character and may look as natural as if found on the forest floor. There are no hard rules and depending on time and season pieces can have more or less signs of age, but wear elements, insect holes and cracks are entirely natural and reflect our brand's intentionally imperfect character. - Aviologie
