The work represents the 11 birds from the Passeriformes (songbirds) order which have become extinct since humans came to New Zealand. The most famous is the Huia, but there are 10 other lesser known songbirds in the group. From the Chatham Island Raven, to the PioPio, to the tiny Bush Wren. Designed as a wall installation each feather has a metal pin on the back which goes directly into the wall.
