Description

Woodpecker finch skull replica measures 0.82 x 0.51 x 0.46 inches. The Camarhynchus pallidus is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast of a California Academy of Sciences specimen. 2-part skull (separate cranium and mandible). 1:1 scale. Made in USA. Skull is an adult male.

The woodpecker finch is the most famous of Darwin’s finches due to its remarkable ability to use tools. The California Academy of Sciences maintains specimens that showcase the specialized cranial adaptations required for a bird that lacks the high-impact skull of a true woodpecker but occupies the same ecological niche.

Woody, the woodpecker finch skull replica, is wacky over wishing wells. He wants to build his own today. He needs help as he is not a handyman. He invited his friends to help him out.

Bitty, the small ground-finch skull replica, is very helpful and is on her way with the bricks they need.

Fern, the green warbler finch skull replica, is bringing ferns to plant around the wishing well.

Logger, the medium tree-finch skull replica, has the lumber unloaded in Woody’s backyard for the roof of the wishing well.

They all brought pennies and made a wish in the wishing well. Everyone’s wish has come true.
