Images of thunderbirds have existed across the country for several thousands of years, found on early artefacts and petroglyphs and pictographs. Perhaps stories of the thunderbird are an amalgamation of oral accounts and mythology. Given that Aboriginal history stems back to the Ice Age, it is possible that they were accounts of large prehistoric birds that were passed down, either orally or through artistic renditions. Some would say that thunderbirds were real, as opposed to mythological. The intent of this work not only revives the stories of the thunderbird but also quietly poses the question to the possibilities of the great thunderbird’s existence. In the nest is a large egg that appears to be old and fossilized. The Thunderbird nest is made out of an alpha gypsum and stones with willow branches that form the inner nest. The Thunderbird nest in (Figure 24, 25), revisits the historical stories of thunderbirds and imagines what their nest of stones might of looked like.
