Sulphur-crested Cockatoos

Sulphur-crested Cockatoos are found throughout northern, eastern and south eastern Australia. Their preferred habitat includes eucalyptus woodlands and forests and temperate rainforests. In the right conditions they can form flocks of a hundred or more, sometimes in association with Corellas.

Sulphur-crested Cockatoos are much prized as a pet and can be taught to say a few words. On the other hand, wild birds are able to cause damage to wooden structures on houses and other buildings, bringing them in conflict with humans. Despite this they are fully protected by law.
