Mifuko | Wooden Bird Ornament | Robin

The Mifuko Robin Wooden Ornament is a hand-carved and hand-painted bird figure made from fallen jacaranda tree branches, handmade in Kenya. The robin is one of the most familiar garden birds in Canada and across the northern hemisphere, recognized by its warm orange-red breast and brown back, and the carving captures that colouring with painted detail. It comes with a ribbon attached for hanging from a branch, door, window, or tree, and works equally well tied to a bag or used as a keychain. A small, considered fair trade gift from Kenya that will feel at home in any Okanagan garden lover's collection.
