Star lime wood hand carved
General Information
Artistic flyer and voice imitator
The starling has been named Bird of the Year 2018 by NABU. Famous for its talents, the black bird can incorporate ambient sounds and the songs of other feathered creatures into its own melody. Sometimes even ringing tones, dog barking or the sound of alarm systems can be heard. In the same way, the starling is a formation artist, because it can move in large associations with up to a hundred thousand conspecifics in the sky. Like many other wild animals, however, it now lacks suitable habitat with breeding opportunities and sufficient food, so that starling populations in Germany have been declining for years. Thus, this hand-carved bird made of lime wood probably also reminds us of the importance of bird protection in our country meanwhile.
... and the whole flock of birds
Even if they are not classic migratory birds, these figures have had an interesting journey: our supplier works closely with a number of villages in Manchuria, where woodcarving has a long tradition. The Manchurian farmers fill the winter months with carving and painting the figures. They now also produce these songbirds of European latitudes based on the manufacturer's models - so exceptionally lifelike that they can even be used as identification aids. The carved figures are painted with water-based paint in equally precise manual work.
