Hand Carved & Hand Painted Long-tailed Tit Figurine V2 | Basswood with Black Walnut Base

Britain's Fluffiest Bird, Carved by Hand

The Long-tailed Tit is in a category of its own. With its impossibly round, powder-puff body, blush-pink and black-and-white plumage, and a tail that is longer than its entire body, it is one of the most distinctive and endearing birds in the British Isles — and one of the most beloved by birdwatchers, wildlife photographers, and nature lovers across Europe and Asia.

This V2 figurine captures that irresistible charm with remarkable fidelity. Each piece is individually hand-carved from premium basswood into the Long-tailed Tit's signature compact, rounded form, then hand-painted with meticulous detail — the soft pink flanks, the bold black-and-white head markings, and the characteristic long sweeping tail — all recreated stroke by stroke.

Mounted on a separate black walnut base, this figurine is a refined display piece that brings the charm of the British hedgerow into your home, office, or collection.

Handmade — Every Piece Is Unique

At Wooden Islands, every figurine begins as a raw block of wood and is shaped entirely by hand. The Long-tailed Tit's distinctive round body and disproportionately long tail — one of the most technically demanding forms in our collection — are carved and painted with particular care, making each piece a small original work of art. The contrasting black walnut base adds a premium, gallery-worthy finish.

Because the fluffiest birds deserve the most careful hands.
