The plaque reads:

"The parent birds are completely devoted to the young chicks - feeding and fiercely protecting them until they can fend for themselves."

"Biggie Kapeta
Born in 1956 died in 1999

Biggie Kapeta was apprenticed to his uncle Sylvester Mubayi for some years before working independently, although the influence of Mubayi was often reflected in his work.

A quiet, considerate man he was chosen for the residence program at Chapungu where he spent two very creative years, During this period he finished a number of fine sculptures.

Before his untimely death he tried to establish a cultural centre at his home in Chiweshe where he could assist young artists to market their work." (from (visit link) )
