Little Birds - A Birdlife Australia Bird Week Exhibition

What are your first thoughts when you think of Australian birds? The crazy cockatoos screeching and soaring through the sky? Magpies with their tuneful song? Or kookaburras with their iconic cackle of ‘laughter’? What about the little birds? Often hiding out in dense woodland, camouflaged amongst the flowers, flitting though garden hedges, hiding from the “bossy” birds.

Little Birds celebrates, well, the little birds of Australia. Some are in decline, some are losing vital habitat. This exhibition is curated especially for BirdLife Australia Bird Week featuring works by print maker Fiona Roderick, Eggpicnic, and Angela Robertson-Buchanan. 20% of sales donated to BirdLife Australia.
