Red tailed Cockatoo Feather

The red-tailed black cockatoo feather is native to this region, a striking bird that when seen fills the skies with its powerful call and captivates you with flashes of crimson through its dark wings. To see them in flight is to be reminded of the strength and resilience of country itself - bold, enduring and beautiful.

Across may cultures, cockatoos are seen as symbols of guardianship, freedom and transformation. The red tail in particular carries a sense of fire and renewal, a reminder that from challenge comes strength, and from change, new growth.

This embroidery captures the essence of a single feather - carefully stitched in shades of black, red and yellows to reflect both its beauty and its meaning. Now on leather, it becomes a wearable piece of art, carrying with it not only the image of the bird but what it represents.
