Hand Carved Wooden California Quail - Entirely hand crafted from carving to painting and finished with wax polish. Made under fair trade principles using sustainable softwood hotsell and non toxic paints.
The California Quail is the State Bird of (you guessed it!) California but a common site all through Oregon, Washington and up into Canada.
We also have a "mini" quail in our range of birds.
Anna & David create unique birds derived from a meeting between indigenous folk art and western aesthetics. From home on Vancouver Island, surrounded by the sea, mountains and and abundance of birds, they have much to inspire them and offer designs that bring simple yet refined examples of natures greatest inspiration.
They have been working closely with the same three families of carvers for over 7 years, drawing on the villages centuries old techniques to realize beautiful products.
Using Albesia and Coffee wood, these fast growing timbers come from sustainable farming practices for continued harvest and regrowth.
