Wedge-tailed Eagle (pastel design) | Organic Staple T-shirt
The wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax), Australia’s largest bird of prey, is a majestic and powerful raptor known for its distinctive long, wedge-shaped tail and immense wingspan, which can reach up to 2.84 meters. These eagles are expert hunters and scavengers, preying on a variety of animals, including rabbits, wallabies, and lizards, while also feeding on carrion. Adapted to thrive in diverse habitats, from arid deserts to forested mountains, they are equipped with keen eyesight that allows them to spot prey from great heights. They can soar to astonishing altitudes, often reaching over 2,000 meters while searching for prey or surveying their territory. Highly territorial, wedge-tailed eagles are often seen soaring in pairs or small family groups, their effortless gliding a testament to their mastery of the skies.

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.
