Make Every Day Wrensday with the Splendid Fairy-wren Animal Sweater.
The Splendid Fairywren is one of Australia’s most beloved little birds. With tiny wings built for quickly zig-zagging rather than long flights, and a long tail that helps with balance, theyre often spotted in bushy landscapes.
The male is famous for his brilliant blue and turquoise feathers—this is his special mating plumage that the females think it’s hotter than Magic Mike. Once mating season ends, the male molts and returns to a more low-key brown, matching the hardworking females.
Speaking of hard work—female Fairywrens often build 5 or 6 nests a season, though only a few successfully raise chicks. It’s no wonder we think of them as tiny heroes.
We’re so excited to bring these little blue cuties back in a very limited batch to celebrate the Lenko 100!
