(Adult male Major Mitchell Cockatoos. Lophochroa leadbeateri)

This painting is modelled off Kyran, one of my favourite Major Mitchell Cockatoos to paint. Before I met Kyran, his owner warned me that he was sensitive and might fly off if he felt unsure of the surroundings. Sure enough, he refused to go anywhere near the strawberries, even after an hour! Eventually, when his best friend Squirt the Rainbow lorikeet was brought into the room, Kyran’s confidence was bolstered. Together, they bobbed around and chatted away in indecipherable babble, as if they had their own inside joke and only they knew what was so funny.
