Australia’s Most Dramatic Bird — Carved by Hand, Painted in Striking Black and Scarlet

The Red-tailed Black Cockatoo is one of Australia’s most awe-inspiring birds — sweeping jet-black plumage, a powerful crest, and those blazing scarlet tail panels that flash like fire in flight. It is a bird of the open woodlands, the river gums, and the remote Australian interior, and it commands every space it enters. This hand-carved, hand-painted basswood figurine captures that dramatic presence and proud posture in stunning artisan detail. At 5 inches, it is one of the largest and most commanding pieces in the collection. Mounted on a solid Black Walnut base, it is a statement piece — bold, beautiful, and unmistakably Australian.

Every figurine is carved and painted entirely by hand — no molds, no mass production. Just skilled craftsmanship and deep respect for one of Australia’s most iconic and increasingly rare birds.

✦ What Makes This Special

  • Hand-carved basswood body — lightweight yet durable, with a fine grain that holds crisp crest, feather, and tail detail across a larger 5" form
  • Hand-painted plumage — deep jet-black body and wings with vivid scarlet tail panels, layered by brush for dramatic contrast and lifelike depth
  • Separate Black Walnut base — rich, dark hardwood with natural grain variation; the deep tones complement the bird’s bold monochrome and scarlet beautifully
  • Statement display size — Bird: 5" L | Base: 1.5" H — the largest bird in the Australian series; a true focal point on any shelf or mantle
  • Truly one-of-a-kind — handmade means no two pieces are identical; yours is uniquely yours

✦ Perfect For

  • Bird lovers, birders, and Australian wildlife enthusiasts worldwide
  • Collectors of handmade wooden art, folk art, and nature sculptures
  • Nature-inspired home, study, and living room décor
  • Australians living abroad — one of the most iconic and recognisable birds of the Australian interior
  • Thoughtful gifts for birthdays, housewarmings, holidays, and retirement
  • Conservation supporters — the Red-tailed Black Cockatoo is a protected species; a meaningful tribute to Australia’s threatened wildlife

✦ The Story Behind the Piece

In the river red gum woodlands of inland Australia, the Red-tailed Black Cockatoo moves in slow, deliberate flocks — feeding on seeds, calling with deep, resonant cries, and flashing those scarlet tail panels as they wheel overhead. They are birds of vast, quiet country. Increasingly rare in parts of their range, they carry a weight of significance for conservationists and bush lovers alike. This figurine is made to honour that significance — the drama of the bird, the beauty of the country it calls home, and the importance of keeping it there.
