Birmba (White Cockatoo)

Birmba (White Cockatoo) is my family totem. It has been passed down from generation to generation. 

They are like protective spirits for me, my family and our loved ones who have passed away.

They always remind me of my late grandfather and my sister who I dearly miss.

The White Cockatoos give us signs. Good signs and signs of danger. They always let you know when to move on.

When I am out with my grand children, I say “that’s Nan there, overlooking us”, I let them know it’s family wathing over them, keeping them connected to each other and country.

When I am alone, I know they are around. I speak to their spirit and they give me strength.
