Once one of the most common birds of the British countryside, the Yellowhammer has declined sharply in recent decades as farmland habitats have changed. Today, hearing one sing from a hedgerow feels like a small gift — a connection to a quieter, slower England. This figurine is made for everyone who knows that feeling. A piece of the European countryside, held in wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e✦ Dimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBird:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 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\n\u003ch3\u003e✦ Care Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve the hand-painted finish.
