They are birds of vast, quiet country. Increasingly rare in parts of their range, they carry a weight of significance for conservationists and bush lovers alike. This figurine is made to honour that significance — the drama of the bird, the beauty of the country it calls home, and the importance of keeping it there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e✦ Dimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBird:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 inches (L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 inches (H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Basswood (bird), Black Walnut (base)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e✦ Care Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve the hand-painted finish.
