Squawky Hollow

Artist: Leigh Shersby
Asset Type: Sculpture
Year of Work: 2024
Location: Bendigo Community Bank Mundaring
Provenance: Shire of Mundaring
Description: In the southwest of Western Australia there are three species of threatened black cockatoos: Baudin’s cockatoo (Zanda baudinii), Carnaby’s cockatoo (Zanda latirostris) and forest red-tailed black cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii naso).
Squawky Hollow portrays a forest red-tailed black cockatoo family and reveals feathers emerging from the tree trunk to symbolise the consequential and imperative relationship these birds have with the eucalyptus tree. A birds wings provide flight and transit, the eucalyptus tree provides a food source and shelter for nesting….survival and well-being!
These majestic birds nest in the natural hollows of mature Eucalyptus trees which take more than 120 years to develop hollows that are of a suitable size.When bushfires and tree clearing decimate the natural habitat of the land these birds lose vital food sources and mature tree havens which are essential to facilitate breeding, nesting and population growth.
For these vulnerable and threatened bird species to rise out of the ashes they need our attention, consideration and help.The Black Cockatoos are the spirit of our sky and forests and their future is in our hands if we dare to care enough to make a difference to ensure their survival in an ever changing and challenging environment.

Location: Eaton Drive, Shire of Dardanup
Provenance: Shire of Dardanup
Description: Aerosol on metal.
The Eastern Osprey is a medium-sized bird of prey that feeds mainly on fish and hunts in the rivers and estuarine waters around Eaton. It has dark brown feathers with pale white/cream feathers underneath that you can see when they fly above. The birds often undertake complex aerial displays where two birds will soar together in a series of patterns, or where one will follow the other weaving in and around an aerial course. These displays often occur near osprey nests, which are large structures made of sticks, driftwood and seaweed like the one located near the Eaton Foreshore along the Collie riverbank. The nests are used year after year so can reach up to two metres across and two metres tall.
