Pink Cockatoo Wooden Earrings

A mismatched pair of Pink Cockatoos, also known as Major Mitchell’s Cockatoos, perched on gum blossoms, one with its spectacular crest raised and one with it relaxed. When raised, that crest fans out into bold bands of red and yellow, making them one of Australia’s most beautiful cockatoos.

Fun fact: In 2023, BirdLife Australia officially changed this bird’s common name from Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo to Pink Cockatoo, though you’ll still hear both names used.

We wanted to do something a little different with our cockatoo earrings, creating mismatched pairs that complement each other. Cockatoos form strong, long-lasting pair bonds and are rarely seen alone, which inspired the whole collection. For our Pink Cockatoos, we’ve celebrated that famously spectacular crest.

Designed and hand assembled in our home studio, these wooden bird earrings are printed on and laser cut from 4mm cherry-veneered MDF, making them super lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear. The front features the full-colour design, with a natural wood finish on the back. Because they’re made from real wood veneer, the grain, colour and texture vary slightly, so every pair is one of a kind.
