The painting depicts Aboriginal iconography: -

• Large concentric circles represent the meeting place of the budgerigar ancestors
• Small circle with curved lines represents the budgerigar's nesting place
• White dots represent budgerigar eggs
• U shapes represent women

The eggs are a source of bush tucker gathered by Aboriginal women.
