AI interpretation: complete sulphur-crested cockatoo.
Overview
White plumage contrasts with an erectable sulphur-yellow crest. Wing and tail undersides are pale yellow; the crest can fold flat along the head.
The 2007 account describes timbered habitats, savannahs and urban parks in northern and eastern Australia. Social flocks feed on the ground and in trees, taking seeds, nuts, fruit and insects. Both parents incubate eggs in tree hollows and feed chicks.
