The Gold Coast Hinterland is a paradise for bird enthusiasts, offering an incredible opportunity to capture the beauty of its native birdlife. While countless species visit the property, cockatoos quickly became my primary focus. From their striking plumage to their playful antics, these majestic birds brought the landscape to life in every shot. In this portfolio, you’ll get an up-close look at the charismatic Cockatoos and Rainbow Lorikeets that frequented the backyard.
