Description


The Apostlebird is found across inland eastern Australia from the mallee regions of northern Victoria and eastern South Australia, north through New South Wales and central-western Queensland to the Gulf Country. They often travel in groups of about 12; for this reason they were named after the Biblical apostles, the twelve chief followers of Jesus Christ. They also tend to perch closely to each other creating an avian version of DaVinci's "Last Supper". Due to their gregarious nature, and harsh scolding and grating calls, they have developed a plethora of other colloquial names. They are also known locally as "Lousy Jacks" (due to heavy louse infestations), "Happy Jacks", "Happy Families", "Grey Jumpers" and the "CWA Birds". The latter name is derogatory, referring to the supposed resemblance of the bird's constant chatter to a "Country Women's Association" meeting. Rendered in Poser Pro without postwork. The background tree is the Ghost Gum from Greenworks/X-frog's excellant Oceania 3D plant series.
