A few days after taking this image and doing a print for myself, I received a “Don’t let our endangered cockies disappear” email from BirdLife Australia raising funds to help save Gang-gang Cockatoos and Baudin’s Black-cockatoos. And I was like, holy crap, what a coincidence! People have been asking me for ages now if I sell my bird prints and I’ve always been like “nah, I’m not sure they’re good enough” but when I saw this I thought OK, this is a chance to maybe raise a few bucks for the cockies so I won’t feel like such a douche selling my pics.
So after a quick chat with the good folks at BirdLife Australia, I decided $25 from every print sale will be donated to BirdLife Australia’s vital bird and habitat conservation programs. So it’ll be good for them, good for the birdies, and I feel much better about selling some prints. Win-win-win.
About this picture.
For those of you who like to know the story behind a picture, here’s the story behind this one. I’d been camping on the Glenelg River, on the Victorian side not far out of Nelson, on what was my very first interstate trip in about two and half years due to the whole Covid thing. My main target for that trip was actually the Azure Kingfisher and there’s a reason I’m not selling prints of those cause I saw precisely bugger all kingfishers.
But one day when the weather was particularly rubbish and I was making my way down a back dirt road to another location I spotted some birds in a dead tree, hunkered down in the rain. My first thought was they might be Red Tailed Black Cockatoos which can be found around that area, but when I pulled over and had a look I saw they were Gang Gangs and what. the actual! Did not even know this location was in range for Gang Gangs!
I raced back to the car and even though it was still drizzling, grabbed the camera and set up to take a pic, and just as I did the rain eased and the cockies started preening themselves and giving them a bit of a shake to dry off. Unfortunately, they also started to have a bit of a look around and spotted me fairly quickly and flew off, but not before I managed a handful of shots including this one, mid rain drop shake off, against a basically white sky.
(For those of you playing at home, this is a female Gang Gang as the males have the bright red crest.)
