Oiva Toikka bird mark-what does it say - ID = O. Toikka Napapiiri

Hello, I am from Oregon, USA and found a bird at a church sale over the weekend. I didn't realize it was signed until I returned home. I see that it is etched on the bottom O. Toikka and possibly vapap uri with the two dots over the u. I have tried finding what this stands for with no luck. If anyone could help with the translation I would greatly appreciate the help. Also, are all of the birds made in each year similar in color or design. Thank You

It's by the Finnish maker Nuutajärvi. Here's a link to my recent post which has a link to the Birds by Oiva Toikka website which may help.

I should have said Nuutajärvi was the company he worked for, he usually signed with just his and the company name but he did sometimes add something else, perhaps the name of the bird in Finnish?

FrankieCat17:
Ok, thank you for your response. I have looked through the link to your post before I posted. I was wondering if this bird had a name or if anyone has seen this color pattern. I have looked at many (hundreds if not thousands) of Toikka birds online and have not seen this one. Also, I have tried using online translators and the phrase below the etched signature is not translating for me. Ok, well, thanks for your help.

I think the word is Notsjo.
Nuutajarvi Notsjo is the full name of the company. :)
