Australia’s Most Beloved Backyard Bird — Carved by Hand, Painted with Character

Ask any Australian to name their favourite bird and the Australian Magpie is never far from the answer. Its bold black-and-white plumage, liquid carolling song at dawn, and fearless, intelligent personality make it one of the most recognised and cherished birds on the continent. This hand-carved, hand-painted basswood figurine captures that striking contrast and confident posture in remarkable artisan detail. Mounted on a solid Black Walnut base, it’s a piece that feels instantly familiar — and deeply special.

Every figurine is carved and painted entirely by hand — no molds, no mass production. Just skilled craftsmanship and genuine affection for one of Australia’s most iconic birds.

✦ The Story Behind the Piece

The Australian Magpie’s morning carol is one of the most beautiful sounds in the natural world — a rich, rolling, flute-like song that fills suburban gardens, country paddocks, and city parks alike. It’s the sound of an Australian morning. Intelligent enough to recognise individual human faces, bold enough to swoop in nesting season, and gentle enough to take food from your hand — the magpie is a bird Australians grow up with, argue about, and love fiercely. This figurine is made for everyone who feels that connection — a handmade tribute to a bird that is, in every sense, part of the Australian story.

✦ Dimensions

  • Bird: 4 inches (L)
