Bring one of south-eastern Australia's most distinctive parrots into your kitchen with this striking tea towel, printed from Robyn Clarke's original acrylic painting. The design brings you close in on a pair of gang-gang cockatoos, the male's scarlet head and wispy, forward-curling crest set against the soft slate-grey and blue of his companion, both framed by a vivid green background.
The composition crops tight, filling the cloth with the birds' faces and the finely barred feathering across their breasts. Bold brushwork gives the piece a painterly warmth, while the pale, heavy bill and dark eye of each bird are picked out in careful detail. The two heads leaning together lend the artwork a quiet intimacy — a moment of closeness between a bonded pair.
Gang-gangs are found through the forests and woodlands of Victoria, New South Wales and the ACT, where they are the Australian Capital Territory's faunal emblem. They feed largely on the seeds of eucalypts and wattles, and are often heard before they are seen — their creaking call is frequently likened to a rusty gate hinge. Numbers have declined in recent decades, and the species is now the subject of concerted conservation attention.
