Very fancy bird there! I ADORE the plain(but still sparkly!) body and then all the flowing colored tail feathers- like ribbons or streamers! He’s understated in terms of color on his body until you get to that tail :P
Makes me think he takes great pride in such a colorful tail which of course he should! XD
Love it! Beautiful colors!
very pretty!!
You must know I love birds and this brooch has one of my favourites, the cockatoo.
Perfect beady eye, lethal beak, and lovely feathers.
My sincere thanks everybody for the love

Thank you Lauren for your awesome compliments, this cockatoo is very proudly flaring its colorful tail! I think one could definitely call this a "very 80s" design, the bold bright colors in the tail were often used in that decade for clothing as well, Bob Mackie's super colorful outfits come to mind. It is quite fancy & of course a sparkly bird gem always appeals to me :)
Thanks so much vintagelamp for loving this bird and its fancy colors, I so appreciate your wonderful comment! I can never resist an unusual tropical bird like this, all parrot varieties are beautiful to me, and I so yearn to take a tropical vacation again, hopefully when travel opens up more
Sean thank you so very much for your lovely praise for this bird, it is not often I find a pretty cockatoo and they are such gorgeous subjects, there is a real one online that talks which is the salmon crested type, a beautiful & amusing bird to watch
Karen my favorite Australian friend, of course I know you love birds as I adore your gorgeous glass ones, & the real cockatoo in your profile pic is awesome! Yes they do have a lethal beak, as my brother in law discovered kissing his pet, getting bitten & needing stitches at the hospital lol. Thank you for your terrific praise & stay tuned, I found a beautiful Australian animal that I'll try to post next time, and hope you will enjoy it

Wishing you & yours a lovely Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy turkey day and some day we will visit FL again to share in that fabulous warm sunshine :)
