Guricha - Willie Wagtail

Original not for sale A3 prints $120
The Willy Wagtail (my given totem) was named Guritcha during the Bpangerang Peoples Dreamtime. Wearing the same colours and named bravest bird for protecting its young by the brave Yirrador (magpie). Guritcha builds its waterproof nest, near waterways, out of spider webs, fibres and hair pulled from animal’s backs. Guritcha lives safely by my home at the foot of Mount Mellum where I enjoy its call “Guritcha-guritcha” as it dances for me.

My home is in the Glasshouse Mountains and my backyard goes up one of the smaller mountains. Around July/August small flocks of Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos land in our trees pulling off leaves and bark. I love the cry the Black Cockatoos make and when I hear it I run out to catch a glimpse of them. Of all the amazing birds I see here in the bush the Black Cockatoo is my favourite.
