    An exquisite gift for young and old.

    This delightful collection of 30 pull-out posters features paintings of native birds by artist Eileen Mayo, first reproduced in 1976 as collectable picture cards in packets of Gregg’s® Jelly Crystals. From the curious mātuhituhi bush wren to the elegant kōtuku white heron or the owl-like kākāpō, it’s not hard to see why these charming paintings captured the hearts of young New Zealanders.
