Description
I lived next door to this sulfur crested cockatoo for 10 years before getting a good portrait of him. These birds are naturally curious and VERY intelligent and expressive.
My brother in law had a cockatoo which learned that the rest of the family didn't think much of a certain family member, so (completely on its own without being taught) the bird called out a warning as she came up the walk for a family gathering, "Here comes the b-tch!!!!"
The Cacatua galerita is a fairly large white cockatoo found in wooded habitats in Australia and New Guinea and some islands of Indonesia. They have a distinctive loud call. They have adapted very well to increased human population in Australia and live in many urban areas. These birds are very long-lived, and can live upwards of 70 years in captivity.
