Work Overview
The Black Cockatoo is striking Australian bird and at the time of writing there were several who would fly over where I live in Sydney making a beautiful sight as they glided overhead. One day I saw a solitary one; and as many of these species mate for life I was given to wondering if there was perhaps some sad tale behind this lone flyer?
