EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken at the London Zoo in September 1927, we see a remarkable bond between a keeper and his feathered friend. The image showcases an awe-inspiring moment as a Palm/Goliath/Great Black Cockatoo delicately grips onto the finger of its devoted keeper with one foot. With perfect balance, it holds an egg-shaped treat in its other foot, showcasing both strength and dexterity. The historical significance of this photo is evident as it captures the beauty of wildlife conservation efforts even during earlier times. The Zoological Society of London played a crucial role in preserving these magnificent creatures for generations to come. The full-length view allows us to appreciate the majestic presence of this Great Black Cockatoo, also known as Probosciger aterrimus. Its sleek feathers and striking features are highlighted against the backdrop of the zoo's surroundings. This mesmerizing snapshot perfectly encapsulates the harmony between man and nature, reminding us that through care and understanding, humans can create profound connections with animals from all corners of our planet. It serves as a timeless reminder that love knows no boundaries – not even those set by different species. With Frederick William Bond behind the lens capturing such intimate moments like these, we are fortunate to witness history frozen in time through his extraordinary photography skills.
