Sulphur-crested Cockatoo

Description
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.

The Sulphur-crested Cockatoo is similar in appearance to the three species of corella found in Australia. Corellas are smaller, however, and lack the prominent yellow crest.

I am glad Jack asked the question about the colour of the chest Janice. A slight amount of OE around the crest but a well composed and detailed shot regardless. Lovely feather detail and good focus. We don't see huge flocks down here but they are present. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Tamar Tides V’.

You also asked about mainland fires in my previous loading. No fires just one of those days of varied wind currents.
