This is a fascinating larger sized Wheater bird. Most of the Wheater birds were made in a much smaller model but this model is measuring 17,5cm from beak to tail. This larger sized model is rarely for sale.
The pattern and color variation is huge among these marbled birds. They truly are individuals. The smaller Wheater is pictured on page 26 in the book "Birds by Toikka", and on page 74 in the book "In Oiva's Wonderland".
Size: 175mm x 120mm
