Red-Tailed Cockatoos

As the red-tailed cockatoos glide through air

their glossy wings shimmer in the sunlight,

their beaks looks as smooth as butter.

Sometimes they bring a whiff of desert heat.

Their tails are the colours of the sunset, yellow to orange to red.

They glide through the sky with a sense of power and dominance.

Their high-pitched squawks are a way of communication,

they like to scrummage for seeds, nuts, and fruits.

Flying through the sky together like a team,

gleaming and shining under the rays from the sun.
