Small Fantail Earrings Gold Small
Solid recycled Copper earrings with a 9ct Gold plate cast in the image of the iconic native New Zealand and Australian Fantail (Piwakawaka).
Double sided and finished with recycled Sterling Silver hooks and supplied with rubber stoppers for extra security.
These playful birds love to follow you though the bush singing and alighting on nearby branches. The jury is out whether they just like hanging around people or are chasing bugs that have been stirred up by their feet!
Gold Small: Fantail length 19mm (0.75in), Hook length: 15mm (0.6in)
Did you know pīwakawaka chicks are fed every ten minutes, that’s about 100 times per day. Some human mothers who remember feeding teething babies, will empathise.
The fantail is a rare native bird species in New Zealand that has managed to adapt to the impact of humans upon the environment.
They can live anywhere from coastal areas to alpine areas. Although predators such as cats, rats and stoats take their eggs, pīwakawaka make lots of eggs, many of which will survive and become the sweet, resilient birds we love.
Where is it made? Takaka!
