Despite its name, the red-bellied woodpecker is best identified by its vivid red cap and nape — the belly blush is subtle and rarely seen. This hand carved wooden red-bellied woodpecker, 9.5"H, captures the bird's black and white barred back, red crown, and sturdy build with careful hand-painted detail.

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.
