  1. I love the tree and ferny plant! The bird picked the perfect spot to pose. Posted one year ago
    1. Pose as well as defend the nest, it seemed to be prime real estate :) Posted one year ago
      1. So true. I'm sure that is the priority. Being in a pretty location is just a bonus. Posted one year ago

The sulphur-crested cockatoo is a relatively large white cockatoo found in wooded habitats in Australia, New Guinea, and some of the islands of Indonesia. They can be locally very numerous, leading to them sometimes being considered pests. A highly intelligent bird, they are well known in aviculture, although they can be demanding pets.
