HORNED SCREAMER BIRD DECORATION - MADE BY PERUVIAN AMAZON ARTISAN
This one-of-a-kind handmade decoration features the large horned screamer. While it is related to ducks and geese found in South American wetlands, its bill is more like a chicken's as it feeds on leaves, flowers, and roots of aquatic plants. Its loud "u-who" call immediately marks its presence. The curious thin structure that extends in front of its head is reminiscent of a quail, but it is made of hard material, not a feather, and periodically breaks off at the tip.
This decoration will distinguish you as someone who truly appreciates unusual birds of the world. It will keep you company with a smile on your desk, mantel or book case.
The sale of these crafts supports forest conservation and helps meet local needs in traditional communities in Peru. This one-of-a-kind craft was woven by an artisan from a village on the Maranon River with natural chambira palm fiber.

Support native artisans & rainforest in the Amazon
Amazon forest loss is driving species to extinction, aggravating global warming, and robbing people of unique medicines, foods and other benefits. Cutting and burning forests is often more profitable than conserving them, so some native communities in northern Peru have illegally logged and grown coca and other cash-crops to escape poverty.
