Although considered native to Aotearoa, the Tauhou is actually classed as “self-introduced”, arriving sometime in the early 1800s. The Silvereye's Māori name is Tauhou which means 'stranger' or more literally, 'new arrival'. Small, friendly and prolific, with a distinctive white ring around the eyes, they’re a common sight in most gardens and urban parks, also populating dense forest and bush areas. This stunningly crafted cast glass Tauhou/Silvereye 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: L15cm x W16cm x D8cm (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.
