The piping plover is one of the most endearing and most at-risk shorebirds on the North American coast — a tiny, pale bird that nests directly on the sand. This hand carved wooden piping plover, 6.5"H, captures that delicate, vulnerable beauty with pale sand tones, a dark breast band, and orange bill painted by hand.

Aviologie's style has elements of distressing and natural variation that are part of what makes each piece unique. Their photos represent the birds accurately, but they are individually hand carved pieces with the soul of variation, not cast resin replicas.
Jesus said "consider the birds" (Luke 12:24), so they did!
Designed on Vancouver Island by Anna & David, each bird is brought to life by the same three families of skilled artisans they have supported, and been supported by, for over 15 years.
Drawing on centuries-old village carving techniques, they blend indigenous folk art with modern design to create timeless art pieces that are simple, refined, and equally at home in settings (rustic, classic or modern), as varied as their customers.
