'I'iwi Lehua Note Cards

'I'iwi Lehua Note Card Collection - 4 Pack

The endangered 'I'iwi or Scarlet Hawaiian Honeycreeper is one of the most beautiful birds in Hawai'i. It uses its long, sickle-shaped beak to probe for nectar of the Ohi'a Lehua blossoms. The 'i'iwi was valued by Hawaiians for its red feathers, which were used to make feather capes, helmets and other ornaments for the alii, or chiefs. Bird catchers would smear sticky sap on the branches of the ohi'a and when an 'i'iwi landed on the sap it would be held fast in the sticky trap. The feathers were then carefully plucked, only removing a few at a time and then the bird was released unharmed.

The note cards come in a set of four cards and envelopes. An original design available exclusively from Na Makua. (Card size: 4.25" x 5.5") #SNCKUL
