Have you ever met a sulphur-crested cockatoo? They are as intelligent as a toddler and can live up to 90 years of age. Squeak and Squawk were rescued when their tree-hollow home was cut down. They were only two weeks old. You will fall in love with these clever cockies.

Reproduction of the original: The Cockatoo ́s Story by Mrs. George Cupples

Steeped in myth and magical realism, this story exposes the heartbreaking realities of Aboriginal life as indigenous tribes fight to protect their natural resources, sacred sites, and above all, their people.
