Karak and Ngolak Feathers
' Dreamtime stories and belief systems of many First Nations language groups regard the glossy black cockatoo as a powerful protector, its very presence shielding people from harm. This perception stems from the bird's loud, raucous alarm calls that alert others to potential threats lurking nearby. To Indigenous Australians, the glossy black's vocal warnings represent an ancient voice of the forest keeping watch. Mount Cambewarra is the site of the black cockatoo’s Creation story, where a white cockatoo flew over a major bushfire and turned black. ' - WWF

Super fine, beautifully detailed filaments are highlighted in the elegant structure of these Australian native cockatoo feathers. Responsibly sourced and photographed in only natural light with minimal post processing and no filters.
