Hawaii's Sacred Bird, Captured in Wood

The Nēnē is more than a bird — it is a symbol of resilience, belonging, and the spirit of the Hawaiian Islands. Once on the brink of extinction, this remarkable goose was brought back through decades of conservation effort and today stands proudly as the official state bird of Hawaiʻi. This hand-carved and hand-painted Nēnē Hawaiian Goose figurine honours that story in basswood — every feather, every marking rendered by hand with quiet precision.

The Nēnē (Branta sandvicensis) is found nowhere else on Earth. Its distinctive buff-and-black streaked neck, reduced webbing adapted for lava fields, and gentle, upright posture make it instantly recognisable — and deeply meaningful to anyone with a connection to Hawaiʻi.

Craftsmanship You Can Feel

  • Bird Material: Premium basswood, hand-carved
  • Bird Size: H 4 inches / approx. 10 cm
  • Finish: Non-toxic, hand-applied paint with fine detail brushwork
  • Craft: Hand-carved & hand-painted — each piece individually made

A Meaningful Piece for Any Space

Place it on a bookshelf, a desk, or a Hawaiian-themed display — the Nēnē brings the warmth and spirit of the Islands into any interior. Its upright, confident stance and beautifully detailed plumage make it as much a sculptural object as a bird figurine.

Handmade — Every Piece Is Unique

At Wooden Islands, every figurine begins as a raw block of wood and is shaped entirely by hand. The Nēnē's distinctive streaked neck, warm buff tones, and dignified upright posture are applied with fine brushwork — making each piece a small original work of art.

Because the natural world — and the cultures that cherish it — deserve to be celebrated in the objects we live with.
