Cockatoo | Greeting Card by Gene Irvin (1934–2026)

The Cockatoo is one of the world's most charismatic parrots — native to Australia and the surrounding islands, known for its dramatic crest, expressive personality, and remarkable intelligence. Gene Irvin captured it in close-up portrait: detailed stippled pen and ink rendering of the feathered face, orange-tipped yellow crest raised, bright yellow cheek patch vivid against the white plumage.

Cockatoos are highly social birds that form strong pair bonds and live in large flocks in the wild, ranging across open woodlands, grasslands, and scrublands of Australia. They are among the longest-lived parrots, with lifespans of 40–70 years or more in captivity — a commitment as much as a companion.
