-A man can dream; the black cockatoo can be king.
When his kingdom comes, no war, no quarrel no barriers. -
If I Were King - Red Tail Black Cockatoo (2022) By HSIN LIN
<br>
This artwork was inspired by my visit to the Ballarat Bird World. I spent a wonderful day observing this precious friend – a Red Tail Black Cockatoo, one of my favourite Australian Native Birds.
<br>
Male Red Tail Black Cockatoo is normally jet black and has a band of bright red in the tail and a dark grey beak. Female Black Cockatoo has yellow speckles on the head and breast, yellow patches on the tail, and feathers in duller black and whitish beak.
<br>
There’s also a saying that black cockatoo stands for the energy of empowerment, happiness and contentment. The power of spirit comes into our lives, strengthening our own spirit and soul.
