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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

Jenny M. @littletig2.bsky.social · Aug 31

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. 🥲
