Large white cockatoo found in wooded habitats in Australia, New Guinea, and some of the islands of Indonesia. It has a distinctive yellow crest. Our bird is sitting on a tree branch, seen from behind. The birds head is turned to the right so we see it in profile with the yellow crest partially extended.
