Was it a bird? Or was it a plane? No! It’s the majestic Bird Sculpture, standing tall in Melbourne’s Docklands. This impressive steel artwork, simply titled “Bird”, is much more than meets the eye. While its sleek, modern design might make you think it’s a recent addition to the cityscape, the Bird Sculpture actually holds a deeper significance, rooted in the rich history of this land. The Bird Sculpture pays homage to Bunjil, the eaglehawk spirit revered by the Kulin nations, the original inhabitants of the Melbourne area. Imagine Bunjil soaring above, a powerful protector watching over its people. The sculpture embodies that same spirit, its presence a constant reminder of the enduring connection between the past and the present.
