Item Description

Take home Hawai’i’s state bird. You will have your own small flock consisting of these two beautiful dolls, which resemble the Nene, also called the Hawaiian goose. Nene is an endangered species found on the islands of Hawai’i and Maui, with some now on O’ahu. This handsome bird with a dark head and striped neck nests often in a kipuka, patches of grass, and shrubs surrounded by lava. Scientists believe its ancestor is the Canada goose which accidentally migrated to Hawai’i long ago.

These dolls are 12 inches tall and feature a cool pattern all over, as well as a faux sheep skin bottom. They would make a perfect gift for bird lovers or be a fun addition in any room.
