The Native Hens (Recorder Quartet)

The Tasmanian native hen is also known as the 'turbo chook'. They are a flightless bird that has red, rather beady, scary eyes. They can also run quite fast, which of course they need to be able to do considering they are flightless. 

Instrumentation: Recorder Quartet (Descant or Sopranino, Alto, Tenor and Bass Recorders)
