Yellow-tail Black Cockatoos Print
I’ve finished my long-awaited pair of yellow-tail black cockatoos (Zanda funerea). They’re a breeding pair, with some tell-tale differences. The female has a bone-grey beak and eye rings, and the male sports a dark grey beak and brighter red eyeliner.
You will find these beauties across the Eastern coast of Australia, from Queensland through to South Australia. They love coastal bushland and are rarely found close to cities, though if you’re lucky you can spot them at the outskirts of Canberra, Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne. These cockatoos have a distinctly loud wail (once you recognize it you can’t mistake it) and a deep relaxed wingbeat. They band together as they fly long-distance over the bushland.
I wanted to bring out their lively personalities and grace in this painting. They’re big birds with a big voice, confident in the air, and unafraid in their environment. The male plays in the air ready to dive-bomb his partner, while she balances on her high and spindly perch with tail spread and wings ready. A game will follow.
Professionally made using light-fast pigment inks on acid-free, lightly textured 310gsm Hahnemuhle paper, these are archival quality giclee prints. The texture, colours and detail are truly beautiful, and if cared for the print will last for over a lifetime. Available for:
$65 for A4 (210 x 297mm), open edition
$120 for A3 (297 x 420mm), open edition
$250 for the size of the original painting (560 x 760mm), limited edition of 60

Framing advice
The A4, A3 and A2 options are all standard sizes, and you can find affordable off-the-shelf frames if you prefer to frame them yourself. I can arrange professional framing similar to that shown here, for around the same as you would pay plus the extra packaging and shipping costs. For more details, see my framing advice.
About this collection
I came to the art world painting Australian native birds - our favourites like cockatoos, magpies, and gang gangs. My mum hand-raised native birds, and I helped her rear a yellow-tail black cockatoo that used to preen my eyelashes. Painted in watercolour, these capture the intricacy and vibrancy of feathers as well as the dynamic character of our native birds. The collection includes fine art prints in all sizes, and a few remaining original paintings.
