This mural is on the side of a cafe on the corner of Oxford Street anf Perry Lane, in the inner city suburb of Paddington.It was created by artist Ignacio Querejeta. It is part of the Perry Lane Art Project, commissioned by Woollahra Council in 2019. It features an Australian white ibises which have come to be regarded as a problem species in urban areas as a result of their scavenging activities, scattering rubbish from tips and bins in the process. The species has acquired a variety of colloquial names such as "bin chicken" or "bin chook".

ReplyDeleteWe probably messed up their life so...
ReplyDeleteThat's great, loved it
ReplyDeleteEven though the ibis are a pest, it's a very pretty mural. We have a family of ibis that appear to reside in the park across from my house, and if I put food seeds for the other birds they just swoop in! Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Jim.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. Wow. Love this mural.
