The Ruru (Morepork) is New Zealand's beloved native owl and its haunting melancholic call is what gives it its Māori name, Ruru. Tania Mallow's Ruru heart is a gorgeous rendition and depicts the shy and sweet characteristics of the Ruru perfectly. "The original heart Ruru design came about for a collaboration with Creative & Brave and the very talented Tui, who came up with the original concept for the design."
