Rock Wren, know by the Maori name Piwauwau is a lovely little bird that lives in the South Island of New Zealand. I based the colors on the true color of this wonderful little bird, browns, olive greens, yellows and blacks. They have distinctive large feet and a long hind toe. It can fly a few yards at a time between rocks. I made a mural of 6 birds a few years ago, recently I decided to recreate these designs to share them with a wider audience. I used Koru patterns. The koru (Māori for "loop" is a spiral shape based on the shape of a new unfurling silver fern frond and symbolizing new life, growth, strength and peace. New Zealand has so many wonderful birds, we are lucky to have them.
