Having adapted well to the changing environment introduced by human populations, the Piwakawaka/Fantail is one of the most prolific and well-loved native birds in Aotearoa. With its distinctive fan shaped tail and energetic flying antics, it brightens urban gardens and dense bushland alike. The Fantail has many different Māori names. As well as Tīwaiwaka, it is commonly called Pīwakawaka, Tīwakawaka or Tīrairaka. A fidgety person is described as a Fantail’s tail, because of the bird’s restless movements. This stunningly crafted cast glass Pīwakawaka/Fantail bird is created by the incredible glass studio, Luke Jacomb Studio. It has a screw in the back so it can easily be screwed directly into your wall. Looks beautiful alone or as part of a collection. Dimensions: L16cm x W11cm x D6cm (approx) Cast glass with set screw fitting. Can be mounted on any type of wall. Available in a variety of colours (Please note the colour previews may show a different species of bird as an example of the colour). Each bird is hand made and unique so your order may vary slightly from the photo. Actual colours may vary. This is due to the fact that every computer monitor has a different capability to display colours and that everyone sees these colours differently. We cannot guarantee that the colour you see accurately portrays the true colour of the product. Please Note: Each bird is hand made to order by the Luke Jacomb Studio. Production time is usually 6–8 weeks, depending on the studio’s schedule.
