I was inspired to paint this stunning bird seeing them up close during my trip to Kangaroo Island.
The rose-breasted cockatoo, best known by its native aboriginal Australian name "galah," is the perfect parrot species for a pet owner who likes to interact frequently with a pet bird. Extremely intelligent and enormously fond of humans, this pretty pink bird can readily learn to say many words and do complicated tricks with regular training.
Rose breasted cockatoos are affectionate and friendly, the galah cockatoo has a reputation for being a loving pet.
This particular one was from the place in Kangaroo Island ( Raptor Domain) and made a lasting impression on me due to her friendly personality.
