Often maligned as a nuisance in our urban and rural environments, the Sulphur Crested cockatoo retorts with a heartfelt chorus of laughter. Boisterous and demanding, this is the type of bird that takes what it needs. A joyous bird that thrives in company, this iconic Australian bird is the embodiment of the gregarious Australian character.
