The Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo (Cacatua Galerita) is a large cockatoo found widely across Australia.  They are numerous in number with large flocks often visiting city parks and suburban gardens.  They are a highly intelligent bird and derive their name from the bright sulphur or yellow coloured crest.

This painting was inspired after Garry observed this flock on a visit to the south coast of New South Wales.  It was painted using watercolour and gouache on 100% rag board.
