Bilby Full Body Puppet
Bilby Full Body Puppet
35 cm H
The Bilby is an important part of traditional indigenous culture in the deserts of Central Australia. Bilbies use their strong forelimbs and claws to build extensive tunnels, which provide shelter from the fierce heat and predators. Each Bilby may have up to 12 burrows, with burrows up to 3m long and 2m deep. They will dig a new burrow every few weeks and these are often also used by other native animals. Bilbies are nocturnal, emerging after dark to forage for food. Using their long snouts, they dig out bulbs, tubers, spiders, termites, witchetty grubs and fungi. They use their tongues to lick up grass seeds. They have poor sight and rely on good hearing and a keen sense of smell.
A great addition to your childcare resources
Black Cockatoo Puppet
Black Cockatoo Puppet
Forest red-tailed black cockatoos like to eat seeds,
nuts and fruits. They use their strong, wide bills to
crack open the seeds and nuts.
Forest red-tailed black cockatoos mate for life and
they like to nest nearby other nesting pairs. They
build their nests in large hollows of very old Marri
trees.
Unlike the white-tailed black cockatoos, the forest
red-tailed black cockatoos do not move very far
from where they nest and tend to live in small
flocks.
Black cockatoos are an important part of
Aboriginal mythology. It is believed that their calls
announce the coming of the rainy season.
