Banksian cockatoo

The Red-tailed Cockatoo is one of the most majestic members of the cockatoo family. Its jet-black plumage contrasts with the brilliance of its scarlet tail feathers, like an ember hidden beneath the ashes. Its tall crest, which it raises according to its mood, makes it a bird that is both mysterious and theatrical.

Aboriginal people consider it a messenger from the ancestors, a bearer of balance between heaven and earth. Mounted on a natural branch, this specimen immediately catches the eye and evokes the raw beauty of the Australian landscape.
