The Australian Flame Robin is like a spark of living fire, darting through the bush with its bright, blazing chest! With beautiful, bold patterning and stark, contrasting colours - it certainly was a fun one for Shannon to paint!
About this bird: The Australian Flame Robin is a small, striking bird known for the vibrant red-orange plumage on its chest, contrasting with its grayish-brown back and wings. This stunning bird is native to south-eastern Australia, including Tasmania, and is commonly found in open woodlands, forests and farmlands, particularly during the breeding season. Flame Robins are insectivorous, often spotted perching on low branches or fences before darting to the ground to catch insects. A fun fact about these robins is that they can migrate in winter, with many birds moving to lower altitudes or coastal areas. They are also the only robins to form small flocks in the winter months. During breeding season they may have up to two clutches. The female builds the cup-shaped nest made up of grass and bark, bound with spider web and decorated with lichen. The female incubates the eggs, while the male supplies her with food, though both sexes feed the young chicks once hatched. It is a territorial bird, using its song and plumage displays to mark out and defend its territory. Despite their beauty, Flame Robins face challenges due to habitat loss and land clearing. Efforts to protect their habitats and maintain healthy ecosystems are essential to ensure their survival. Conservation status varies by region: NSW: Vulnerable, Globally: Near-threatened

What is a Giclée?
Giclée is a printing process using high-quality digital files, archival-grade pigments and acid free media resulting in a fade-free image which achieves a seemingly “dot-less” imaging technology (which varies from traditional fine art printing which typically relies on screen pattern dots to reproduce full-range colour halftones). The Giclée process enables reproduction on virtually the same media as the original artwork.
