The Red Tailed Black cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii) "Ngaoara or Karrak" In the language of the Noongar People. An amazing species of Cockatoo that have a truly beautiful colouring. While the males are solid black with a bright crimson tail, I believe the ladies take the cake on this one. These three gorgeous girls show off not only the starry sky pattern they carry but the fiery energy of their tails.

It is believed that they act as guardians to loved ones, bringing them to rest with the ancestors. Seeing a black cockatoo can also mean that rain is coming, further enforcing their identity as a symbol of change.

They are listed as Vulnerable at the moment due to habitat loss, rare nest hollows and invasive species.

Man, I am... real bad at remembering to share plush work on here. Here’s just a dump of various custom orders I’ve made over the past while that I never thought to upload. Mostly birds, since that is what I have inadvertantly made myself known for.

[Image Description: A series of photos of various handmade plushies: a set of five pigeons, a black-crowned night heron with a retractable neck, a blue jay, a white cockatoo, a meadowlark, a common grackle, a greenland shark, and a steller’s sea cow. /end ID]
