When it comes to Australia’s native fauna, the white ibis comes high on the list of the country’s most iconic. And we’ve got plenty of them in Brisbane – even more now that the Bin Chicken Trail has been introduced. First, it was tiny doors, now metal bin chickens have been popping up thanks to the work of local artist Sethius Art, who provides them largely to local businesses.
As it states on Sethius Art’s website, “[the Binny] helps to bring eyes to their business and feet in their door. But moreover it’s a bit of fun, gives people a laugh and makes Brisbane more interesting.”
We’ve done some scouting to find where these Binnys are located. Most of them are unique to the business they’ve been placed at, including a bin chicken holding a XXXX beer can, another covered in tattoos, two about to go into battle with swords, and more.
If you spot one of your travels, snap a pic and tag us using the #mysecretbrisbane hashtag — we’d love to see them!
