Red tailed, Black (Banksian) Cockatoos. Key Ring

A Pair of Red tailed, black (Banksian) Cockatoos. These beautiful birds are native to Australia. The adult male is generally around 60 centimetres (24 in) in length. The females are black with yellow-orange stripes in the tail and chest, and yellow grading to red spots on the cheeks and wings. They are a magnificent sight in flight and can be very loud. This is an image from an 18th century artist, which I have digitised and cleaned up. I have also attempted to restore the vibrancy of the colours, which the acid in the old prints has yellowed and faded.
