Red Tailed Black Cockatoo Abstract Calyptorhynchus banksii, or red-tailed black-cockatoo, has coped with extreme variations in its environment. Much like the plant species of Australia, the red-tailed black-cockatoo has evolved physiological and anatomical adaptations that have allowed it to survive in changing surroundings. One of the most prevalent adaptations was that seen in the beak apparatus. Changes in the beak allowed the cockatoos to consume the newly evolved sources of food. The
Transformation of Traditions towards Modernity: Cockatoo Island Lisa Nguyen Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Technology Sydney Introduction The weight of the desolation immediately clung onto my shoulders as I stepped off the F3 Parramatta River Ferry.

On the 12th-14th of May, first year students of the UTS Design faculty stayed on Cockatoo Island to do field work in groups. Our assignment was to create three maps of specific features of the island in a non literal way.

My group consisted of five members decided two weeks before the camp, Rosie and Eliza from interior design, Roy from industrial design, Yael from fashion

heterosexual marriage. “Late coffee and oranges in a sunny chair” represent the niceties Bruce treasures so: his fascination with home décor, his love for certain works of literature, and so on. The “green freedom of a cockatoo” could refer to homosexuality, as I stated before; the “cockatoo” referring to Bruce’s flamboyant ways. Helen’s quiet endurance must be the “holy hush of ancient sacrifice” – because for years, she has lived within an unhappy marriage. As the title of the chapter would suggest,
“bread is a staff, whereas bread is also a staff, and an oak spring from an oak every morning at dawn” (Ionesco, 39). More instances would come, like when Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith, and Mr. Martin would start repeating random stuff, such as “cockatoos, cockatoos, cockatoos …” and “such cascades of caca, such cascades of caca, such cascades of caca ….” (Ionesco, p. 40). At a point, they even start reciting the alphabet very randomly. This whole scene is extremely absurd, and it goes on until the end of the

The main musical instruments of the Asmat people are hourglass-shaped wood drums. At almost every ceremony and feast, one or more men gather to play the drums and sing. In Asmat society, the drum was associated

Between 300 and 600 hectares of
As part of my high school program I have to write this essay, the topic I have chosen is which career I would like to pursue. The career I have picked is to be a veterinary. The dictionary explains it means: relating to the medical care and treatment of animals.

Veterinarians and their practices may be specialized in certain areas of veterinary
