This piece is a tribute to one of the most memorable bush walks across Lamington National park. In the absence of any anticipation, out of nowhere, when a red tailed black cockatoo glides through the rainforest and lands on a branch up high on a great magnificent gumtree; it is the experience which has got an impact to last a lifetime. 
One stops breathing with mouth agape; it is the sight which makes you understand the meaning of the expression “ breathtakingly beautiful!”
it is an otherworldly sensory experience of trying to encompass the mesmerising grace of these marvellous Aussie natives. 
There is a saying by Natalie Angier which comes to mind - The beauty of the natural world lies in the details.
This piece is the most genuine attempt at capturing the female red tailed black cockatoo’s charm, hues reflected on the feathers, the ornamental spiral patterns, the golden beak and the calming sharp gaze. Such a captivating beauty but such a rare sight; a sweet irony of the female red tailed black cockatoo. 
The black cockatoo represents the power of spirit come into your life. It could be a strengthening of your own spirit and soul, or a celebration of any spirits or gods that you happen to believe in. Black cockatoo energy tends to be celebratory and can bring about empowerment, happiness and contentment.
Echoing the beautiful words of Alex Trebek, If you can’t be in awe of mother nature, there is something wrong with you.
