Pastel on Colour fix paper
55 X 42 cm
Original SOLD
These gorgeous little mischief makers are sitting on my old back gate here in the Grampians.
The one on the right is doing his best to impress the other by flaring his magnificent crest and bobbing his head up and down. They also perform this display when they are grumpy about not being fed by me. Trying to intimidate me they will even rip plants out of the garden before flying up into the tree tops to nip off and drop seed pods and sticks on my head!!!.... truly they do .... gorgeous monsters with the most appalling and ear-splitting screech you have ever heart. Especially when they get mad. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, they certainly make an impression.
