Blue Jay Balsa Ornament

Unlike other birds, male and female blue jays look the same. They are intelligent birds and like to chatter. They actually can imitate a hawk to warn other birds of their presence. If you want to find one, look aroud oak trees--acorns are their favorite food.

Made out of sustainably harvested balsa wood, these lightweight ornaments are hand-carved and then painted with non-toxic acrylic paint by a cooperative of skilled artisans on Isla Solentiname, Nicaragua. Approximate size: 5" x 2".
