Plum-headed finch
The plum-headed finch lives in south-eastern Queensland into eastern New South Wales, reaching well inland in both states. They prefer open woodland, scrub and thickets with tall grasses and seek out watercourses. They will also take up residence in gardens, orchards and parks.
They forage in pairs or small groups, and in large groups of up to 200 during breeding season. The male performs a dance for the female, usually while holding a piece of grass in his bill, and fluffing up his feathers. After a bit of bobbing about, he drops the grass and sings for his intended. The pair build a very small nest lined with grass or feathers, usually within about one metre of the ground. Here they will lay three to five eggs that hatch in less than two weeks. A few weeks later, the pair are empty-nesters and within a year, they will be grandparents.
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.
