Friendly forager | toutouwai / North Island robin | New Zealand bird illustration art print
‘Friendly forager’ features one of New Zealand’s most friendly forest birds, a toutouwai or North Island robin. This hand signed high quality pigment art print is based on an original gouache illustration by Melissa Boardman.
Toutouwai are incredibly friendly little birds, they are known for being trusting and confident around people. They are only found in areas of bush with intensive predator control where they spend most of their time on the ground foraging for insects. Many studies have proven that toutouwai are highly intelligent birds, they can even count!
This print is created with long-lasting matte pigment inks on textured, high quality archival 100% cotton rag. (Cotton rag is an environmentally responsible paper made from lint fibres - a by-product of the cotton industry).
