The Ruru, or morepork, is Aotearoa’s native owl — mysterious, watchful, and often heard before it’s seen. With its soft, haunting “more-pork” call echoing through the night, this small brown owl brings a magical stillness to forests from the lowlands to the alpine treeline. While mostly nocturnal, Ruru are sometimes active at dawn or dusk and may even hunt in daylight when the weather turns.
Usually spotted alone or in family groups, these quiet guardians of the bush hold a special place in our hearts.
This handcrafted garden art captures the gentle, alert presence of the Ruru. Designed to withstand all weather conditions, it won’t rust and will retain its striking good looks season after season.
Two versions are available — adult and baby — and when displayed together, they create a truly heartwarming scene.
