Australian Birds Through Art, Story & Mail
Receive a beautifully illustrated postcard featuring a different Australian bird each month.
Meet the Grey Fantail 🪶
This month's Feather & Perch bird is the Grey Fantail.
Inspired by a young Grey Fantail I spotted fluttering through my parents' garden in northern Tasmania, this little bird became the subject of August's original gouache painting.
Join by 31 August to receive the Grey Fantail postcard, posted during the first week of September.
