Whiskey Tjunkangku

This rug is taken from an original painting about Kalaya, the emu, a bizarre bird with lots of character. The female lays the eggs and then wanders off leaving the male to incubate them and rear the chicks. Kalaya has exceedingly strong and sharp claws that he won’t hesitate to use in defense of his chicks. Here, father emu is wandering with his 3 chicks.
