The flashy parrots usually get all the attention, but how cool are friarbirds? I didn't even know they existed until recently, but their look blows my mind a little. For this painting, I wanted something other than a colourful cheeky feather ball, and I think the friarbird is practically the opposite of that. So who would want this interesting creature in their home? I suppose we'll find out.
A little background: I studies conservation ecology, and I'm heavily invested in the continued existence of our animals. I hope that through my work, I can highlight the beauty of those we share this country with, and consequently stress the need to conserve and protect them.
