The Children who love Mynah Birds

Manu, Malia and the Mynah Birds encourage us to always voice our opinion 

and be a source of joy to others! 

Sassy little Myna bird

With your funny walk

My you are a noisy bird

How you love to talk, talk, talk!

Quiet down, you sassy bird

Won't you fly away?

Shoo! shoo! Myna bird

Kulikuli ē! Kulikuli ē, kulikuli ē! Shoo! 

Holding hands, Manu and Malie skip happily through the Ohia forest. They are so excited! Any minute now their special friends the Mynah birds, Nuku (Beak) and Pio (Whistler), will appear to play with them.

And sure enough, there they are landing on Manu’s and Maile’s hands. Nuku and Pio always have so much to say and so many stories to tell. They love to talk and can’t be quiet for even a minute.

Playing with the Mynah Birds is just delightful!

Nuku and Pio are Manu’s and Malie’s Aumakuas (ancestral spirits) and their loyal companions. Nuku and Pio often reveal their miraculous powers and loving concerns to Manu and Malie. They always appear when Manu and Malie call on them, gently chirping sweet songs and secret messages in Manu’s and Malie’s ears.

 

Manu and Malie wear matching Aloha clothes with a design of yellow and pink Plumerias and Puakenikeni leis.

 

Manu and Malie are about 7” tall. Their bodies are made from stretch cotton and wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto their faces. Manu and Malie have little hands and feet, ears, buttocks, and a belly button. 

Muku and Pio are about 1” long and crocheted out of embroidery thread.
All accessories were individually handcrafted.

 

Doll care: Gently brush the dolls and their clothing with a soft dry toothbrush to remove dust. Always brush the faces and bodies upwards towards the hair. Do not brush the hair!

Manu, Malie, Muku and Pio are ready to be your new friends 

and chirp their way into your heart.
