The Australian White Ibis is very adaptable, to the point that it has become our most famous avian, urban dweller. It is such a familiar site in cities and towns, especially Sydney, that it has been given the rather unflattering sobriquet of “Bin Chicken”, due to its habit of eating discarded food out of bins. They are native to Australia but only in the Top End of the country. In 1973 Taronga Zoo had 19 free ranging birds that roosted around Sydney Harbour. These highly adaptable birds then began to nest and breed. The population has grown and they have worked their way up the coast and are now in Brisbane. We think they’re the most graceful and unique street birds and worthy of celebration.
We have two options of cotton inserts for the cushion filling. Our alpaca fleece inserts come from local alpacas that are owned purely as pets. The alpaca insert is quite dense, ideal for sitting in either on a chair or on the floor. It still looks good on display on the couch. The duck feather inserts (ethically sourced from China by an Australian company) have a plump full look that really shows off the designs.
Embroidered linen cushions 45X45cm.
