Himalayan Cutia

Each of our clay whistle ornaments have been hand-moulded from locally-sourced clay and hand-painted by our Akha hilltribe craftswomen.

The Himalayan Cutia (cutia nipalensis) inhabits the Himalayan region, from India to northern Thailand. Its natural habitats are tropical to subtropical humid montane forests. However, is not a bird of the high mountains, rather preferring the broadleaf forests of the foothills.

Conservation Status: Least Concern
