Cockatoo

Cockatoos are a parrot family with crests that can be raised during communication or alertness. Their strong bills process a range of foods, from hard seeds to roots and insects, depending on the species. Many nest in tree hollows and maintain lasting pair relationships. Flocks can travel between feeding and resting places. Their social and exploratory behavior is complex, and a white crest-bearing bird represents only one part of cockatoo diversity.
