This is adorable!!!

An assortment of 63 needle felted Native Hawaiian bird ornaments at the Hawaii Island Festival of Birds.

Hope you had a chance to go to the Hawaii Island Festival of Birds this weekend? Almost 90% of my birds were sold out in half an hour after opening time. 🤯 Here is a pic of my table before opening.

See you tomorrow!

I love this!

The lemon! 😂 😂 😂

Yes! Needle-felted wool. Thanks so much. ☺️

There is a limit of 3 birds per person this year. No orders taken at this time. After birdfest, I will only sell birds in my Etsy store as I make them, so keep an eye out for my posts for when they're available. Aloha! And hope to see you at the festival!

My last birds for Birdfest Hawaii are done! The extinct Hawai'i Mamo was revered by the Ali'i for their golden yellow feathers.
At Birdfest, prices are higher than last time. Supply is extremely limited. See comments for more info.

YouTube video by Holy Koolaid You've Been Lied to About Charlie Kirk

@holykoolaid.bsky.social delivers a striking eulogy for Charlie Kirk.
Factual. Documented. Well delivered.

Yay! See you there! 😊

We'll have to work hard to keep it that way! 💪

It was Avian malaria. We now have the technology to eradicate this, and efforts are underway to save our remaining birds. This progress is always being hampered by science deniers, but we keep pushing forward to save the birds. This, and invasive predator control is what we are focusing on now.

I have not used ALT. 🤔 I will try next time. Thank you! ☺️

This is not on the #AvianAugust list but it is similar. Hawai'i 'O'o went extinct long before Kauai 'O'o - some time in the 1920's. The yellow feather capes of the Ali'i were made from the 'O'o yellow feathers. Thousands of them. #AvianAugust2025 #NatureArt #WildlifeArt #FiberArt #SciArt #BirdArt

See you there! Please bring plush pueo! 😁

I love this!

Here are pictures of my glass Pueo owl mosaic before and after lightly being (tack) fused together.

This makes all the tiny glass shards into one solid piece and keeps the detail better than full fusing.

I have the same dilemma with orange cat. 😸

Thanks so much! ☺️

Thank you! ☺️ The 5 Hawaiian crows newly introduced back in the wild are now going on 9 months out there and doing well! No babies yet, but very promising!

Thank you! ☺️ I cheated. This took me like a whole year to do, and AvianAugust just happened to be the very same birds (mostly). I am so happy though. So much awareness for the birds we're losing and the birds we've already lost. 🥲

#AvianAugust is pau! These species shown were made for BirdFest Hawaii on Oct 4. Mahalo for all the likes, reposts and follows! ❤️ And thank you #AvianAugust2025 for bringing worldwide attention to our critically endangered Hawaiian birds! Aloha! 🤙 #SciArt #WildlifeArt #BirdArt #FiberArt #NatureArt

🪶 I’ve completed Avian August 2025! I hope all the conservation programs will go well and they live long and prosper.

Shucks!

Please bring some to BirdFest! (save one for me!) 🥺

No.This species can only survive on this particular food and not adapted to eating other foods. Also, they do not live where people are. We are culling the sheep and goats and planting new Mamane, and installing fencing to keep all ungulates out.

There are fewer than 900 Palila left in the world, all living in the dry Mamane forests of the Big Island, and Mamane seeds are one of their only food sources. Feral sheep and goats have decimated these trees.

Thank you. ☺️

'Ula-'ai-Hawane means "red bird that eats the fruit of the Hawane (Loulu) palm". Was found only near Hilo, Kona, and Kohala regions on the Big Island. Extinct as of the late 1800's or early 1900's. #AvianAugust #AvianAugust2025 #SciArt #NatureArt #WildlifeArt #FiberArt #BirdArt

Husband trying! Does not do felt but does do glass. ☺️ Needs encouragement.
