White ibis - The terrible tale of the bin chicken
The white ibis is a much-maligned bird owing to its habit of scrounging in bins in urban areas. Once upon a time, these birds had much more self respect, living in wetlands and foraging for crustaceans and small fish. One theory of their change of habits is that white ibis were released from a city zoo in the 1970's. The freed birds were accustomed to being fed by visitors and picking through bins for scraps. It is thought that these birds might have taught their bad habits to wild birds, resulting in the common nickname of 'bin chicken' now given to the white ibis.
This design is part of the Controversial Birds series.
Product variants
glasses slip cases
Our glasses cases have a sturdy canvas outer printed with our own designs. They are fully lined and feature a padded layer to provide protection for your glasses cases while taking up much less room in your bag than a hard carry case.
They fit most glasses, being 10cm across and around 20cm tall.
They're durable and washable and customers report the fun bright prints make them easy to find in your bag.
Handmade with love
Every fabric used in our glasses cases is designed by Boo at Susurrus Studio in Darwin River, located an hour south of Darwin in the hot tropics of Australia. Boo draws much of her inspiration from her bush environment, especially the birds and flora of the Top End and across Australia.
The fabrics are printed with care in Sydney. When they arrive, Boo steps away from the design table and leans into the sewing machine to hand craft each item.
