About the artwork - ‘Fussy Eater’
Here’s one of my favourite girls caught mid-feed, snacking on a casuarina cone with full concentration. I wanted to show her personality through that simple moment. It’s a reminder of how picky (and adorable) these birds are and how important it is to protect the habitats they depend on.
These fussy eaters feed almost exclusively on she-oak seeds and rely on old trees with hollows to raise their young. By protecting mature trees and restoring she-oak habitat, we can help ensure these beautiful birds continue to thrive.
