Red-Whiskered Bulbul — Hand-Carved & Hand-Painted Clip-On Bird Ornament

One of Asia's most celebrated songbirds — now carved in wood. This Red-Whiskered Bulbul clip-on ornament is individually hand-carved from premium basswood and hand-painted with acrylic paints to capture the bird's striking features: tall pointed black crest, brilliant crimson whisker patch, crisp white cheeks, brown upperparts, and vivid red vent — in vivid, lifelike detail. The state bird of Kerala, India, and one of the most beloved and widely recognised birds across South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Hong Kong, the Red-Whiskered Bulbul is prized for its melodious song and elegant bearing.

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.

✦ Why Wooden Islands?

✦ 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.
