The Handcrafted Details:

  • Hand-carved from branches of the Jacaranda tree.  Jacaranda trees add to the beauty of Rwanda, with their feathery leaves and small purple flowers.  They are also special in that they grow back after being cut.
  • Available in matte white or a natural unfinished wood.
  • Length: Approximately 4.3 inches
  • Please note that the shape of the bird ornaments vary slightly due to the styles of the individual woodcarvers.
  • Care: If your white bird gets scuffed, a white eraser should do the trick!
  • Ethically crafted by a person in rural Rwanda.
  • Azizi Life is a member of the Fair Trade Federation and committed to fair trade principles.
  • Every product supports our community impact projects.
  • Also available in Rwanda at the Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.
