One of my favourite birds, always reminds me I am in Australia when you hear their unique laugh, that's almost identical every time. My favourite memory is when a little baby kooka fell out of the sky or tree and landed in the backyard of my studio. He was unable to fly away because he got injured, but we managed to save him with the help of the rspca, and saw him fly off again.
Their patience and cunning eye is amazing. One time a Kooka sat on our roof top when we were eating lamb salad, the moment we turned our heads, the bird came flying down and snatched the meat out of the bowl right in front of us!
So for now I will enjoy this piece on my own wall and bring back some good memories and remind me what a great country we live in :) Then one day he will fly away and he will settle in his new home!
