with one or more members of the group watching for danger from a nearby perch. The Cockatoo is often seen feeding in large flocks on the ground along roadsides and highways. The Cockatoo has been very successful in adapting too many man made environments, often becoming a bit of a pest, due to the damage they cause by chewing on homes and other wooden structures. They are generally found in a variety of timbered habitats area close to a water source and they tend to stay in the same area all year round. The noise of hundreds of cockatoo loudly shrieking as the fly can be almost deafening. They are very social birds and will congregate in very large groups with numbers in the hundreds, they tend to disperse into smaller flocks for ground feeding and reunite in the evening for roosting. Many birds that have escape or have been deliberately released are now living in areas where they do not normally occur, such as Perth and in New Zealand SIZE: Length up to about 50 cm, weighting around 850 gramsĪustralian Distribution of Cacatua galerita (Australian Sulphur-crested Cockatoo)ĭISTRIBUTION & HABITAT: The Sulphur-crested Cockatoo is native to Australia and can be found in Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia. The only truly accurate way to determine the sex of your parrot is through DNA testing. The adolescent birds resemble the adults and it is particularly difficult to tell the difference between a male and female. The size of the head can sometimes provide a clue as to the sex of the parrot as the adult male generally has a slightly larger head. However this is not a consistent occurrence and many females will have the same black eye colouring of their male counterparts. The females can sometimes be identified through the colour of their eyes, they tend to have slightly lighter, reddish/brown tinge to their iris. The crest is also used during courting displays. They will also display their crest in excitement and during play.
Their crest is used as a form of communication and is often raised to express distress, fear or as a warning to stay away, but this is not always the case.
Their distinguishing crest is a unique characteristic, which is exclusive to only cockatoos, and their much smaller cousin, the cockatiel. Both their beak and feet are dark, almost black. They have yellow feathers under their wings and tail. They have a very fine powder that waterproof their feathers. They have a lovely light tint of yellow just below their eyes near the back of their cheek area. The Sulphur Crested Cockatoos is an impressive large white parrot with a striking yellow crest.
