Greater Sulfur Crested Cockatoos (Cacatua galerita) are large parrots, and the largest and best known of all Cockatoos. They are between 44 – 51 cm (17 - 20 inches) in length, with a wingspan of up to 103 cm (40.6 inches) and a weight of about 0.9 kg (2 pounds).They are native to eastern Australia from Cape York to Tasmania, and have been introduced to places like Indonesia, and the Palau Islands. When alarmed the cockatoo's crest opens up like a fan, and their call is amazingly loud.
