Photographed at my home in NSW. Cookie, the Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo usually visits several times a day, and always brings a friend or three. These parrots have a white plumage, a yellow crest and cheeks, splashes of yellow on the underside, and a dark bill. We always know when they visit us, whether it’s the thumping of footsteps on the balcony railing, or the extremely loud screech, their arrival is never quiet, but always welcome. These birds are very intelligent, and curious coupled with a cheeky personality. Average size/weight 50cm/900g.
