A wise, inquisitive look from a beautiful cockatoo strangely alone in the canola fields of Toodyay is what attracted me to paint this striking Carnaby Cockatoo.  Marty is my interpretation of a photo by Georgina Steytler, a leading Australian birdlife photographer.

The Carnaby’s black cockatoo is a large black cockatoo endemic to south-western Australia. It has a short crest on the top of its head. Its plumage is mostly greyish black and it has prominent white cheek patches and a white tail band. The body feathers are edged with white giving a scalloped appearance. Adult males have a dark grey beak and pink eye-rings. Adult females have a bone coloured beak, grey eye-rings and ear patches that are paler than those of the males.

Threatened by habitat destruction, Carnaby’s black cockatoo is listed as endangered by the Federal and Western Australian governments.
