Major Mitchell's (Pink) Cockatoo (Lophochroa leadbeateri)
The Palm Cockatoo is a flamboyant smoky grey parrot with bright red cheeks and dramatic crest feathers. Dubbed the ‘Ringo Starr’ of the bird world due to its drumming abilities - crafting its own musical instrument out of bark. “They have a very good sense of rhythm and different styles of drumming signatures” says Professor Robert Heinsohn from ANU who has been studying the birds since the 90s. He says the cockatoo is the only bird in the world that uses a tool musically, bashing out a rhythm against a tree hollow in order to attract a partner. The Palm Cockatoo is now in need of protection due to habitat loss and low reproductive rates. Found in Cape York in far North Queensland - an estimated 2000 - 3000 remain. Australia has the highest rate of mammal extinction in the world which is why we choose to support the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and their efforts in protecting threatened species.

This bird is also known as the Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo. He is such a cheeky character of a bird. Always ready for a game or to play. The original Cockatoo and Gumblossom paintings were lovingly rendered in watercolours and are a fitting tribute to one of our favourite Australian parrots. The delicate ice pink gumblossoms are set against a background of dark green eucalyptus leaves and will make a stunning addition to your artwork collection. I decided to paint the Sulphur- Crested cockatoo on a background of pink gumblossoms and green gumleaves so the white feathers of the bird would really stand out.

Is the Galah silly? Most likely not, but its antics and noise gave rise to a slang term that implies that it is. The pink and grey cockatoo (also rose-breasted cockatoo) is an Australian icon. Found throughout the country, on farms, in parklands, backyards, and vast open plains, there's something very Australian about the Galah. Carlie Edwards grew up in Byron Bay and the surrounding bush and beach from this region are often the inspiration behind her work. She has a love of Australian wildlife which is featured in her work. Each piece is crafted with hundreds of coloured pencils and an enormous amount of love. ----------- Artist: Carlie Edwards Material: 300gsm art paper Dimensions: 29cm x 42cm (A3) ----------- Protect art on paper by having it framed so that moisture cannot spoil the artwork. Alternatively, ensure it is kept away from dampness and mouldy surfaces and dust occasionally with a gentle duster. Store loose prints between acid-free boards when not on display.

Cacatua galerita visited our garden.
The Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita) is a relatively large white cockatoo found in wooded habitats in Australia, and New Guinea and some of the islands of Indonesia. They can be locally very numerous, leading to them sometimes being considered pests. A highly intelligent bird, they are well known in aviculture, although they can be demanding pets. Sulphur-crested cockatoos are 44–55 cm (17.5–21.5 in) long, and the plumage is overall white, while the underwing and tail are tinged yello

The intelligence of Australian birds helps them live long lives and is grossly underestimated according to a researcher.
This gorgeous Pink Cockatoo is perched amongst some yellow gumblossoms for some lovely colour contrast. The shades of rose pink and golden yellow sit beautifully together amongst the green gum leaves. The original Pink Cockatoo and yellow gumblossoms painting was lovingly rendered in watercolours and is a fitting tribute to one of our favourite Australian birds. The Pink Cockatoo lives in arid to semi- arid inland areas of Australia.
