''Bird of the Year' Magpie learns to fly, by Su_G' (https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/7194899): Magpies were named as 'Bird of the Year' in 2018(!) and have long been a favourite in our garden. In this design, magpies learn to fly against a blue Australian sky with a white gradient flaring like the sun behind them. © Su Schaefer 2012, with acknowledgments to Gisela Kaplan's 'Australian Magpie' (2004) with its wonderful pictures and information on this highly sociable, adaptive survivor. The print on the Organic Cotton Knit is shown in a thumbnail (double click for a clearer view). A two magpie version is 'Magpies: learn to fly and food call' (https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/742051). See other bird designs by Su_G.
