Cacatua sulphurea
A medium-sized cockatoo with white plumage, bluish-white bare orbital skin, grey feet, a black bill, and a retractile yellow crest. Critically endangered. I was surprised to see cockatoos (I didn't quite realise how far east I had come!). It is found on Indonesian Islands and can be confused with the larger Sulphur Crested Cockatoo.
Tropical mixed deciduous area on an exposed headland.

It was one of those double take moments! One and only time that I have seen them so feel very lucky.
Must be wonderful to see them in the wild. I know to see large flocks of Macaws flying free here is magnificent. Thanks for sharing Mel.
