Sulphur Crested Cockatoo (1)

My dad sighted several white Sulphur Crested Cockatoo several days ago. He thought that readers might enjoy seeing them…

 

Yes, originally that was a big picture….

Here is another..

And here is the description of the cockatoo, courtesy of the Australian Museum Online:

The Sulphur-crested Cockatoo is a large white parrot, measuring 45cm – 50cm. It has a dark grey-black bill, a distinctive sulphur-yellow crest and a yellow wash on the underside of the wings. Sexes are similar, although the female can be separated at close range by its red-brown eye (darker brown in the male). This is a noisy and conspicuous cockatoo, both at rest and in flight. The most common call is a distinctive loud screech, ending with a slight upward inflection. Young Sulphur-crested Cockatoos resemble the adults.
