‘Bashful’ – Budgerigar Fine Art Print

Some birds arrive with grand entrances and dramatic opinions.

Others quietly tilt their tiny head, pretend they’re shy… while secretly observing absolutely everything.

Meet ‘Bashful’.

Small in size but enormous in personality, the Budgerigar (or budgie, if you’re on nickname terms) is one of Australia’s most charming native birds. Curious, social and occasionally delightfully awkward, budgies somehow manage to look both sweet and like they know your secrets.

Created using my signature blend of ink and watercolour, ‘Bashful’ captures movement, expression and visual fun — focusing not just on what the bird looks like, but the little personality hiding behind those feathers. Loose brushwork and playful detail bring this tiny feathered character to life with warmth, humour and just the right amount of side-eye.

Because in my work, birds are never just birds — they’re characters.

Perfect for bird lovers, Australiana-inspired homes, cosy nooks and anyone who appreciates wildlife with suspiciously human expressions, ‘Bashful’ adds colour, joy and a little bit of gentle feathered charm to your walls.

Perfect for:
✔ Lovers of Australian bird art
✔ Budgie and Budgerigar enthusiasts
✔ Bird nerds (said lovingly)
✔ Australiana-inspired interiors
✔ Gifts for bird lovers and wildlife fans

Printed on premium textured cold-pressed watercolour paper and hand signed in pencil by Australian wildlife artist Shannon Dwyer.

Tiny bird. Big feelings.
