Pūkeko – New Zealand’s Little Trouble-Maker

Bold, cheeky and impossible to miss, the Pūkeko is one of New Zealand’s most entertaining native birds. With its bright blue feathers, fiery red bill and long orange legs, this character certainly knows how to make an entrance!

Often seen strutting around wetlands, paddocks and roadside drains, Pūkeko have plenty of personality — curious, confident and just a little bit mischievous.

A true Kiwi character with attitude, the Pūkeko is a fun reminder that our native wildlife is full of colour, character and charm.

Caring for your artwork

HANGING YOUR ART - Where possible, hang your artwork with two wall mounted hangers fixed to wall studs or wall anchors when necessary. Do not hang your artwork in direct sunlight or in a room with large temperature variations.

CLEANING - Clean glass with a non-ammonia based glass cleaner with a microfiber cloth. Avoid spraying cleaner directly on the artwork. Dust your paintings & frames with a clean, soft rag occasionally to prevent dust build-up. Do not use cleaning products or water.

LOCATION - Hang your artworks away from very busy & possibly messy areas. Over time, artworks can accumulate a thin layer of dust, pollutants & airborne grime. Display your artworks in a less exposed area affected by these.

STORAGE - Prevent accidents & store your artworks away from anything that may press against the surface. Do not cover artworks with plastic for long periods of time. If there is humidity in the air, they may start to grow mold. Cotton sheets are best for keeping dust away.

PREVENTION - Try avoid subjecting your artworks to extreme changes in atmosphere. Avoid excessive dryness, humidity, heat or cold. Check the condition of your artworks periodically. Once hung up there is a tendency to forget about it until noticeable damage has occurred. If you notice the artwork is fading or cracking, move it to a better place & avoid further damage.
