This humorous artwork features an Australian white ibis dressed as a hip hop artist complete with a crown, sunglasses, sneakers and a gold dollar chain. The ibis has 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", "bin chook" and "tip turkey".
