Petra The Pīwakawaka
Our friendly manu you will surely see flittering around as you walk through the bush. Highly curious birds, there is no forrest friend quite like these guys.
Fantails mainly eat small invertebrates, such as moths, flies, beetles and spiders. Large prey is subdued by being held in a foot against a perch and then being repeatedly pecked. Indigestible portions, such as wings, are often discarded before the remainder is eaten. Small fruit are sometimes eaten.
Petra stands at 10 cm high and 8 cm wide. She is made with sustainably sourced maple wood.
