The Bullockornis (now called Dromornis planei) was a giant flightless bird that lived in northern Australia, possibly as recently as 50,000 years ago. It was heavily built, with a long neck and powerful legs. Scientist’s knowledge of the bird is mostly based on fossils found at Bullock Creek in NT.
This replica is from our extinct Australian megafauna range. The sculpture is life-sized at around 1.7m high, with a durable, detailed finish. The bird’s cute chicks are also available (see photos), making this an ideal product for wildlife education.

This unique flightless bird – one of Australia’s Megafauna animals from the Pleistocene– is now extinct. It has some visual similarities to Australia’s modern-day emu, but is also believed to be related to ducks and geese (source).
The Dromornis planei is one of the Dromornis genera of giant prehistoric birds (which includes the Dromornis murrayi). It was originally in a separate genus called Bullockornis, known from fossils found at Bullock Creek, Northern Territory.
