Cockatiel | Organic Staple T-shirt
The cockatiel is one of Australia’s most charming parrots, known for its soft grey plumage, bright yellow face and expressive crest that seems to have a mind of its own. Native to inland Australia, these social birds travel in flocks across open country, feeding on seeds and grains and often gathering around water sources. They rely on healthy woodlands with suitable nesting hollows, and organisations like BirdLife Australia support efforts to protect native bird habitats. That signature whistle isn’t just for show — it’s part of a constant stream of chatter that keeps flocks connected on the move.
- Fabric: Mid weight, 100% combed organic cotton (15% viscose in marle colourways) sustainably grown without herbicides or pesticides.
- Fit: Regular fit with a crew neck.
- Construction: Side-seamed, GOTS-certified, with neck ribbing, shoulder-to-shoulder tape, and double needle hems. It is also pre-shrunk to minimize shrinkage.
Care- for maximum print life:
- Turn inside out: Always invert your shirt before putting it in the wash to reduce friction against the Direct-to-Garment (DTG) ink.
- Cold & gentle: Wash the garment on a cold cycle (under 30°C) on your machine's gentlest setting.
- Mild detergent only: Use standard, mild washing powder. Avoid heavy-duty detergents, enzymes, and bleaching agents (even non-chlorine ones, if possible).
- No softeners: Do not use fabric softeners, as these can strip or degrade the coloured inks.
