Jabiru

Natureworks presents a sculpture with a serious leg game and a commanding presence, the Jabiru Sculpture. With its striking red legs, bold black-and-white plumage, and that unmistakable long black bill, this sculpture doesn’t just stand, it swaggers. Whether placed lakeside or in a garden bed, it brings wetland charm and graceful drama wherever it lands.

Also known as the Black-necked Stork, the jabiru is one of Australia’s rarest wetland birds—and one of the most loyal. These birds are known to mate for life and return to the same nest season after season. They’re strong, silent types with a wingspan that can rival a glider and a knack for wading through muddy waters like runway models.

Did You Know? Despite their elegant looks, Jabirus are fiercely territorial and have been known to chase off crocodiles from their nests! And unlike most birds, they don’t have a song—instead, they communicate with bill-clattering and impressive body language. Who needs words when you’ve got a 1.5-metre-tall presence and a stare that says it all?

Handcrafted to capture every feather and stance, this fibreglass sculpture is more than a decorative piece—it’s a tribute to one of nature’s most iconic waterbirds.
