The vase was sourced directly from Mexico, via San Diego, and hand-treated with sealant to house your favorite plant babies and withstand periodic watering; as well as , a final glaze to protect the hand painted artwork.
It works great for a unique gift for nature lovers, birders, and other enthusiasts in love with what nature gifts us everyday. Although the pots give a reference to the Mexican artisan cup, jarritos, they are not designed to drink from, and should only be used for decorative purposes.
About the Puerto Rican Oriole
Puerto Rican Lizard Cuckoos are solitary birds and are more often seen than heard. They have a loud distinctive call consisting of a series of crescendoing “ka-ka-ka-ka” notes. This has earned it the local name of pájaro bobo mayor (“big ape bird”) since it resembles the calls of a monkey. Another local name is pájaro de lluvia or pájaro de agua (“rain bird”), because its call is believed to forecast the rain.
Puerto Rican Lizard-Cuckoos are found across the island, inhabiting woodlands, coffee plantations; thick, brush-covered limestone hills; and montane, dry coastal, and swampy forests. In the understory and canopy it climbs up trees and branches looking for its prey. True to its name, it feeds mostly on tree lizards (Anolis spp), but it also eats lizard eggs, large spiders, stick insects, caterpillars, centipedes, beetles, and small frogs. It moves slowly and quietly while feeding, using stealth to hunt. Once its next meal is spotted it keeps its body still while it twists its neck at an angle to strike.(source: birdscaribbean.org)
