Colourful Balsawood Parrots and Toucans from Ecuador

Handicraft With Tradition:
From the beginning of this century these colourful birds have been carved of the quickly growing wood of the balsa tree. First of all they were sold to the natives and the tourists in their own country. Since the 80s they have been exported in big quantities all over the world. The trees are growing in the low lands of Ecuador, the greater part on plantations. For the smaller birds they use waste parts of the industrially used balsa wood ( for lightweight material in airplanes etc.).

We offer parrots and toucans from 5 to 200 cm as well as other Balsawood articles.
