Natural looking European bee-eater in carved wood

The European bee-eater, with its contrasting colours, is an interesting acquaintance to place on the shelf, on the work table or perhaps in the middle of the fine dining area. A beautiful bird with a name that opens up discussion about its eating habits.

This charming bird carving is Swedish-designed and handcrafted in wood and water-based paints. As the birds are handmade, each piece possesses delicate variations in detail, lending personality to each individual.

About the European Bee-eater

The European bee-eater is a slim, colourful bird inhabiting south and central Europe, Africa and western Asia. Both the male and female flaunt the bright plumage. Their diet consists mainly of insects, especially different types of wasps. The European honeybee is a particular delicacy for these winged hunters.

The birds build long tunnels in sandbanks near rivers, where they lay 5–8 eggs in early June. Both sexes tend to the eggs that hatch around three weeks later.
