Description
Gang-gang Cockatoos are endemic to coastal regions of south-eastern Australia. The name "gang-gang" comes from a New South Wales Aboriginal language, probably from one of the coastal languages, although possibly from Wiradjuri. It is probably an onomatopoeic name (creating a word that phonetically imitates, resembles, or suggests the sound that it describes).
The gang-gang prefers cooler forests and woodlands in the mountains with dense shrub under-stories. The birds migrate short distances during winter into more open habitats. However, they must migrate back to denser forests to breed, as they need tall trees in order to build nests. Loss of older, hollow trees and loss of feeding habitat across south-eastern Australia through land clearing has led to a significant reduction in the numbers of this cockatoo in recent years. As a result, the gang-gang is now listed as vulnerable in New South Wales.
Rendered in Iray. Models include Stonemason's Willow Creek and my Songbird ReMix Parrots v4: Cockatoos of the World.

"Say, buddy, who are all these people looking at us?" Beautiful render and creation.
As caregiver to an elderly, infirm parent there is no time left for art these days. I wanted to take a moment though and say your birds are wonderful creations, I'm so glad you "keep on keeping on". Someday I hope to use my latest purchases in something just for fun. :) Cheers!
Lovely pair of birds! So well done!
Your birds have such amazing details! The lighting is lovely!
