Glass Kakaruwai/South Island Robin v.3 Suncatcher
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 prismatic translucent grey, opaque white/yellow, and black glass, with wire legs and a secure hanging loop.
Measures 14m in length, and 11cm in width. Hanging length is 24cm with brown leather cord.
Packaged with recycled materials to avoid generating unnecessary waste! Can be shipped within NZ and worldwide. Courier is used to ensure your new 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.
