The Regal Cockatoo

Against a clear blue sky, a pair of cockatoos perch on eucalyptus branches. The adult bird, its vivid yellow crest raised with proud authority, grips the branch firmly with its talons and surveys the surroundings, while a younger bird with a still-small crest sits quietly on the lower branch. The white and yellow feathers gleam brilliantly against the green leaves, and small red eyes carry the lively vitality of the wild. Dense, interlaced branches and broad leaves frame the edges of the scene, creating the lush atmosphere of a tropical rainforest. This detailed illustration captures a vivid moment in the daily lives of these captivating birds native to the Australian continent—a piece that lets you feel both the wonder of nature and the proud beauty of wildlife all at once.
