Christine Sweeney, Cocky Muse (BLACK & WHITE 2026)

Sulphur Crested Cockatoos ( Cacatua Galerita ) fluff the feathers around their beaks and flatten their combs when they're feeling relaxed and safe. This guy visits most mornings on his own, we have a chat, his mates turn up to the party and as I don't feed them, they soon get bored and fly off. I like purity of the BnW which accentuates the feathers and those intelligent eyes.
