I’m totally in awe of these spectacular portraits of wild cockatoos taken by photographer Leila Jeffreys – it’s hard to believe these vibrant colors and patterns are a product of nature! This series took two whole years to complete due to the rare nature of some of these birds, all of which are native to Australia. Leila captures the beauty of these feathered creatures perfectly, along with a bit of their personality, I think! Doesn’t the one in the bottom left hand corner (Barnaby Rudge) seem like wise old soul?
