Perched in stillness, the Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoo gazes outward—its dark plumage edged with quiet resilience. Once sustained by banksias, casuarinas and the native flora of Sugar Gum woodlands, this species now relies on the seeds of invasive Aleppo Pines, a noxious weed that thrives where their habitat has been fragmented or lost.
In 'The Great Circle Paths', Gina Kalabishis captures not only the bird’s austere beauty, but the unsettling reality of adaptation under duress. As their ancestral food sources dwindle and forests are cleared or replaced with exotic pines, these birds—so iconic to eastern and southern Australia—are pushed further from balance.
