Orange-bellied Parrot | Organic Staple T-shirt
The Orange-bellied Parrot is one of Australia’s most colorful and elusive gems, and it wears its vibrant orange belly like a badge of honor! Native to Tasmania and parts of southern Australia, this small parrot is known for its striking plumage, with bright green feathers contrasted by that eye-catching orange underbelly. Unfortunately, the Orange-bellied Parrot is critically endangered, with fewer than 50 individuals estimated to be left in the wild. This makes sightings of this beautiful bird incredibly rare, but it also highlights the importance of conservation efforts to protect it. Known for its migratory habits, the Orange-bellied Parrot flies from its breeding grounds in Tasmania to coastal areas in search of food, often traveling in small, tight-knit groups.
- 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.
