Colorful and dazzling birds made of wood invite you to marvel at them
Birds have always fascinated people with their dazzling and magnificent colors, their enormous biodiversity, and their masterful flying technique. Whether brightly colored parrots, elegant flamingos, or ostriches—the variety of wooden birds from Ostheimer reflects this fascination in lovingly designed figures. Their impressive wingspans and graceful flight style make them true masters of the skies, whether gliding long distances or performing fast and precise maneuvers. This fascination can be wonderfully transferred to the world of play, where children can imitate the movements and colorful splendor of these animals.
Which birds are protected species and why?
Many bird species are now protected because they are threatened by habitat loss, poaching, or illegal trade. Parrots are particularly endangered due to their striking colors and intelligence and are often traded illegally. Flamingos, whose pink feathers make them unmistakable, are threatened by the destruction of their breeding grounds. Pelicans, with their characteristic large beaks, also suffer from the pollution of their waters and the destruction of their habitats.
These three birds are endangered:
- Parrots – threatened by illegal trade
- Flamingos – endangered by the destruction of their breeding grounds
- Pelicans – threatened by water pollution
