Our Sacred Huia Trinket Dish

Featuring a female (long beak) & male (short beak) huia bird perched amongst native puriri and pōhutukawa flora. Huia are one of Aotearoa's most treasured and remembered extinct native birds.
 
They were once the largest of Aotearoa's wattlebird species, known for their beautiful song, their predominantly black glossy feathers and long tail feathers tipped with white. The last confirmed sighting of a huia was in 1907, though it is believed there were a few female huia still alive well into the 1920s.

To Katy, Huia birds are a reminder of the collective impact human's have on the planet and how consequential the choices we make in our day to day lives are. They represent the beauty of our taonga in Aotearoa and the responsibility we have to look after and nourish what is left.
