Lies to tell tourists

Issue 17

Affectionately known by some as the ‘Big Fat Bird’, artist Fernando Botero’s chubby Bird (1990) at Boat Quay is one special chick. Designed with a tasteful exit-hole in its derrière, this stout brass sculpture has a musical secret. Blowing into its ‘mouth-piece’ resonates inside the hollow birdie and produces a high-pitched whistle. Get a friend to prop you up and experience bird-calling of a different kind.
