When I was a child, I had only few toys. I still remember them as well as the magical sounds from the hand-polished bird. I hope it will be a warm memory to someone from me and Latvia.

It's a gift to see the joy in child's eyes. If this little svilpaunieks can put a smile on youngster’s face, it’s a value. Spread the happiness!

I've always loved the hustling and bustling the little birds make. I hope my svilpaunieks will bring joy and positive memories about Latvia - the green country rich with bird songs.

When my wife was a child, her father gave her svilpaunieks made of wood - a forest owlet which soon became Tatjana's favourite toy and thus also the prototype of mine. We believe that the sound of the svilpaunieks will cheer you up and remind you of your childhood.
