The Māori would make beautiful woven kete from harakeke (flax). The kete were used for storage.These kete are flat at the back, so you can easily hang them on the wall (there is a hole at the back of the kete). They also look pretty cool lying flat on the table. Māori culture inspires many artists including our ceramic artists. We love the bright handpainted pohutukawa and kowhai flowers.### Māori weaving, kete, korowaiHarakeke, flax, is used for weaving. Māori weaving is still very popular and the woven baskets and bags are used in everyday life. We use kete for our kumara (sweet potato).  We did a course once and could easily make a woven kete basket. However, the last time I tried (about 10 years later), I just can't remember how to do the finishing touch of a woven basket. So another course in the future might be a good option.Flax was also used for clothing, traps, toys, nets, ropes, mats. Weaving is traditionally done by women. Also the korowai, the traditional Māori cloaks, were woven by hand using flax fibres. These cloaks are treasured heirlooms and it can take up to 9 months to create a traditional Māori cloak.More about flax weaving >>#### Ceramic kete designsPōhutukawa, NZ native tree.

Hei tiki are often passed down as an heirloom to gain mana (prestige). The design typically features a tilted head, large paua shell eyes, and hands on thighs. A hei tiki is considered a powerful good-luck charm, serving as a protective talisman that wards off evil spirits. A tiki also brings good fortune and represents fertility, wisdom, and authority.

The closest relatives to today’s kiwi are the extinct elephant birds from Madagascar. They are also related to emus and cassowaries of Australia, and the extinct moa of New Zealand.There are five species of kiwi:Brown kiwi Great spotted kiwi\/roroa Little spotted kiwi Rowi Tokoeka Kiwi can live for between 25 and 50 years. Chicks hatch fully feathered. They emerge from the nest to feed at about five days old and are never fed by their parents. Juveniles grow slowly, taking three to five years to reach adult size.Are you ready for your Metalbird Kiwi?Source: Department of ConservationCheck out our [bunch of metal baby birds: tui, fantail and ruru >>](https:\/\/www.aotearoa.co.nz\/products\/aotearoa-metalbird-baby-birds\/)https:\/\/www.aotearoa.co.nz\/products\/aotearoa-metalbird-baby-birds\/",

But so wonderful when you do catch them with their tail fanned out.#### What do Fantail - Pīwakawaka eat Fantails use three methods to catch insects:Hawking: Used where vegetation is open and the birds can see for long distances. Fantails use a perch to spot swarms of insects and then fly at the prey, snapping several insects at a time. Flushing: Used in denser vegetation is called flushing. The fantail flies around to disturb insects, flushing them out before eating them. Feeding associations: the fantail follows another animal and also people, to capture insects disturbed by their movements. Fantails frequently follow silvereyes, whiteheads, parakeets and saddlebacks.

But if there’s one thing our mums do have in common, it’s that they’re always, always there. Dependable and wonderfully familiar, it’s that consistency that reminds us of sparrows, those lovable birds that populate our gardens so cheerfully, always there. The sparrow is also a famously excellent mother, attentive and nurturing, adapting at a moment's notice in order for her chicks to thrive. She watches her young with a careful, encouraging eye as they make shaky attempts at flight, guiding them with her voice.Our gardens and skies would be sorely lacking without sparrows, and our lives would be utterly unrecognisable without our mums. With Mothers Day around the corner, this Metalbird is a way to celebrate anyone who filled that role, shaping and encouraging you until you were ready to fly!### Limited edition These lovely artworks are a limited edition.Or check out our [metalbird tui >>](https:\/\/www.aotearoa.co.nz\/products\/aotearoa-metalbird-tui-silhouette\/)Or check out our [bunch of metal baby birds: tui, fantail and ruru >>](https:\/\/www.aotearoa.co.nz\/products\/aotearoa-metalbird-baby-birds\/)https:\/\/www.aotearoa.co.nz\/products\/aotearoa-metalbird-baby-birds\/",
