'BIRDS' A Wild Island Group Show
BIRDS
A Wild Island Group Show
JUNE 01 - 29 2026
“Everyone likes birds. What wild creature is more accessible to our eyes and ears, as close to us and everyone in the world, as universal as a bird?”
David Attenborough
“A bird does not sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.”
Maya Angelou
A celebration of Tasmanian bird-life from Wild Island artists. From the diminutive to the bold, from the flightless, to the aeronauts of the sky. Imagining a world without birds is a devastating idea, however, roughly 1.4% of known bird species are now extinct and about one in eight (12.8%) are currently threatened with global extinction. Driven primarily by human activities like habitat loss, around 1,400 species have been lost in modern history. Experts warn that without intervention, one-third of bird species could vanish by 2100.
