Canada Jay — Hand-Carved & Hand-Painted Clip-On Bird Ornament

Canada's most beloved wilderness companion — now carved in wood. This Canada Jay clip-on ornament is individually hand-carved from premium basswood and hand-painted with acrylic paints to capture the bird's soft, fluffy plumage: pale grey underparts, darker grey wings and back, and a distinctive white forehead and cheeks with a dark grey nape — in vivid, lifelike detail. Also known as the Grey Jay or Whisky Jack, the Canada Jay was voted Canada's national bird in 2016 and is the bold, fearless spirit of the boreal forest — equally at home stealing snacks from a campsite as perching on a hiker's outstretched hand.

The built-in clip attachment lets you place it anywhere — Christmas tree branches, wreaths, garlands, houseplants, bookshelves, or gift wrapping. A versatile piece that works as seasonal décor and year-round display.

✦ Perfect As a Gift

Choose the Gift Box option to receive your ornament beautifully packaged — the perfect gift for Canadians, Canadian expats, wilderness hikers, and anyone with a deep love of Canada's boreal forests and iconic wildlife. Ready to give, no wrapping needed.

✦ Clip It Anywhere

Unlike traditional ornaments, the clip design means this Canada Jay can perch on a Christmas tree, a potted plant, a wreath, a wine glass, a gift bag, or a bookshelf edge. One piece, endless placement.

✦ Why Wooden Islands?

Every piece in our collection is crafted by hand in small batches using sustainably sourced hardwoods and traditional carving techniques. This is not mass-produced seasonal décor — it is a small work of art made to last well beyond the holidays.

✦ Care Instructions

Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight and moisture. Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. Natural wood grain variation is a feature of handmade work, not a flaw.
