Males typically have almost black eyes, whereas the females have a more red or brown eye, but this requires optimum viewing conditions to be seen. …
sulphur-crested cockatoo (Nikon D3000)
It was a lovely sunny day. I love the pale branches of the manna gum this time of the year. It begins shedding bark around Christmas time, until the branches are bare. Some thick layers of bark stay on the lower parts.
Have a good day. 🙂

Love these birds ever since that weekly series on television: the detective (?) with a cockatoo? Wonderful pictures, Christine. Love the closeups. ❤ ❤
Babysat a pet cockatoo once. He was a feather plucker. Ouch.

Don’t know the series. Did the bird talk? Either the tv one or the one you babysat.

One of my daughters used to call them ‘Self-Cresting Cockatoo’ she was quite surprised when she found out it was ‘Sulphur’… Funny how ya get words wrong.
