The Greater Sulfur Crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita) is the largest and best known of all Cockatoos. They are native to eastern Australia from Cape York to Tasmania, and have been introduced to places like Indonesia, and the Palau Islands. Greater Sulfur Crested Cockatoos are white with some tail feathers and underside of the wings colored yellow. When alarmed the cockatoo's crest opens up like a fan. These are large birds that measure about twenty inches in length and weigh about two pounds (0.9 kg). Feeding normally takes place in groups, with one or more members watching for danger from a nearby perch.
