It’s the bird that follows the lawnmower, that sings at 3am, that chases away birds ten times its size without a moment’s hesitation. In Aboriginal Australian cultures, the Willie Wagtail holds deep significance — known as a gossip and a messenger, a bird that carries news and watches over people. It is, in every sense, part of the Australian story. This figurine is made for everyone who has a Willie Wagtail memory — and in Australia, almost everyone does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e✦ Dimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBird:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.5 inches (L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 inches (H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Basswood (bird), Black Walnut (base)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e✦ Care Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve the hand-painted finish.
