Feeding Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos On A Rainy Day

Feeding Cockatoos On A Rainy Day - feeding wild Sulphur-crested cockatoos in the rain, Hand Feeding Wild Australian Parrots & Cockatoos @Bird Cafe; Sulphur-crested Cockatoos are large white parrots with a distinctive bright yellow crown of feathers on top of their heads. They grow up to 45 cm in length. These birds love to feed on seeds, nuts, roots, berries, leaf buds, and some insects and their larvae. The Cockatoo’s beak is strong enough to crack many seed and nut shells, and its tongue is flexible enough to sort the seed from the broken bits of shell and spit them out. The Sulphur-crested Cockatoo has a loud, easily recognisable screeching call with a slight upward inflection at the end. If you hear it, look for cockies flying in the sky or coming in to roost amongst tree branches at dusk.
