The Sulphur-crested cockatoo ( Cacatua galerita) is a large cockatoo found widely across Australia. They are numerous in numbers, 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 water colour and gouache on 100% rag board.
