Jurriyi (Whistling Ducks) - Janice Murray

Jurriyi (Whistling Ducks) are an important part of the Tiwi seasonal landscape, gathering in wetlands, floodplains and freshwater swamps after the rains. Their distinctive whistling calls signal the changing seasons and the abundance of water and food across Country. For Tiwi people, these birds are closely observed as they move together across the landscape, reflecting the rhythms of the natural world and the deep connection between people, animals and Country.
