FIELD GUIDE
The story
A visitor review of the bird shop at Golden Square contains the single best line in this catalogue's source material: wish they sold the big rooster out the front.
That is the whole story of the object, told by accident. The rooster stands outside Birds R Us on Belle Vue Road in Bendigo's southern suburbs, and it is doing its job so effectively that customers have started wanting it rather than the stock.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Recent Victorian Big Things coverage identifies the Big Rooster at Birds R Us, while current business directories and stockist listings confirm the pet/bird store remains active at 70 Belle Vue Road. Current visitor-review material explicitly refers to the big rooster out the front.
ACCESS
Commercial-site landmark. Navigate to Birds R Us only during normal business access and use lawful customer parking; do not stop on Belle Vue Road solely for the sculpture.
