FOREST CHORUS TIERS | JUSTIN COOMBES

Which bird are you?

As a subscriber, you will receive a signed, limited-edition A5 postcard print (see slideshow below) of your chosen bird:

To the Ancient Egyptians, the goldfinch represented the human soul, signifying joy and plenitude. For the Forest Chorus, you ensure our spiritual protection, hence the inclusive, circular motion of your song’s sound waves.
Mozart noted in his journal that his pet starling ‘re-wrote’ a section of his Piano Concerto No. 17 in G. Known to get drunk on fermented fruit, and to socialise in prodigious numbers, you signify the profound importance of communication to the Forest Chorus. Your song-waves are plentiful, short, sharp and sweet!
Blue jays mate for life and teach us how to adapt to any situation whilst learning quickly. You are a highly intelligent bird that helps us access long-forgotten memories and assimilate them into our wider awareness, ergo the epic, world-wide distances that your elegant music covers.
The Ancient Greek historian Herodotus believed that the fiery Phoenix originated in Ethiopia. The supreme singer in the Forest Chorus, you make yourself from your own spiral speech! You have endless capacity for self-regeneration, indicated by the fiery flow of your call. Just don’t burn down the rest of the forest while you’re at it.

N.B. THIRD PARTY SALES: Where JC artworks are sold through commercial galleries or other third parties, subscriber discounts apply only to the production costs and JC’s profit margin. For instance, a gallery operating a standard 50/50 commission selling a £600 JC artwork with a production cost of £100 receives all of its £250 commission from the subscriber. The subscriber discount applies to the production cost and JC commission, in this case, for e.g. a blue jay subscriber, 20% of £350 = £70
