Aubrey Beardsley's rare book catalogue wrapper catches our eye with its intricate design featuring none other than our flamboyant friends - cockatoos. These intelligent creatures have inspired artists throughout time with their elegance and allure. Among them is the Yellow-crested Cockatoo, also known as Lesser Sulphur-crested Cockatoo. Its vibrant plumage stands out against any backdrop while exuding an air of regality fit for royalty. Meanwhile, the Rose-breasted Cockatoo or Galah takes center stage as it meticulously preens itself in Dortmund, Germany. Its pink hue adds a touch of whimsy to this bustling cityscape.

This serene scene invites us into a tranquil oasis filled with avian melodies and natural beauty. But let's not forget Clicko - the pink cockatoo who graces illustrations with his playful antics.
