Spotted Pardalotte

This piece is an exact 1:1 ratio of this teeny, tiny passerine bird.  Spotted Pardalottes weigh only six grams and are more often heard than seen.. their penetrating call is bigger than they are!  It is thought that the spots on their heads might actually be adapted for camouflage amongst the lerps they eat from Eucalyptus leaves.
