HOT ! WATCHFUL HUIA

WATCHFUL HUIA - a male Huia bird in sterling silver

Crafted in fine detail, this is a gorgeous pendant, a representation of this delightful (now extinct) bird cast in sterling silver with a pale Siberian jade wattle!

This is the male - they have the short strong beak, and with a piece of Siberian Jade to represent the classic wattle.

This is a wonderful representation of this marvellous bird! It is a lovely weight and sits beautifully when worn.

WATCHFUL HUIA will be packaged in a woven kete pouch.

Why we love the huia...

The huia, Heteralocha acutirostris was a glossy black bird, now extinct. It had prized white-tipped tail feathers and orange wattles. The male had a stout, straight bill while the females was longer and curved. Tail feathers of the extinct huia are very rare, and they have become a collectors\' item. The last confirmed sighting of huia was made on 28 December 1907; however credible reports of birds were made in the 1920s and even the 1960s in Te Urewera National Park.
