Hand Carved Wooden Heermann's Gull — 12"H

The Heermann's gull is a bird of the Pacific coast — darker and more dramatically marked than the common seagull, with deep charcoal grey plumage and a vivid red bill that makes it one of the most striking gulls in North America. This hand carved wooden Heermann's gull, 12"H, captures those distinctive tones with careful hand-painted detail.

Handmade Character

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.

Our Story

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.
