Ngatijirri Jukurrpa (meaning Budgerigar Dreaming)
Ngatijirri (budgerigar) are small, bright green birds native to central Australia which are common after the summer rains. Men would hunt for nagtijirri nests, robbing them of eggs and juvenile birds, which are considered delicacies. The men would also hunt adult, flying nagtijirri with karli (boomerangs) to hit the birds in flight. At the ancestral nagtijirri lands, ceremonial singing and dancing are depicted in this painting as concentric circles, while cross- like shapes depict the footprints of the birds on the ground.
