Sulphur-crested Cockatooキバタン

Cacatua galeritaLC— Least Concern

The sulphur-crested cockatoo is a large, gregarious white parrot native to Australia, New Guinea, and nearby islands, easily recognized by its sulfur-yellow crest. It forms noisy flocks that forage on the ground and in trees for seeds, nuts, and fruit, and is renowned for its intelligence, long lifespan, and remarkable ability to adapt to urban environments.
