Physical Characteristics

The Sulphur Crested Cockatoo is one of the largest cockatoo species, standing at about 18-20 inches tall and weighing around 15-20 ounces.

Even at 5 months this bird already shows clear signs of its growth and development. The yellow crest of the male cockatoo and white body plumage of this species are distinguishing features. Its brilliant yellow crest, which can be raised or lowered at will, gives the bird a look that is both majestic and playful.

This bird’s captivating gaze is enhanced by each eye having a vibrant red-ring and by the large and highly expressive eyes. Its strong, curved beak is a distinctive feature of cockatoos, easily able to crack open seeds and nuts. Their feet are zygodactyl, meaning that they have two toes facing forward and two facing backwards. This makes it easy for them to grasp and hold items as well as perch on branches or cages.

Diet and Care Requirements

All cockatoos share the same dietary needs, which the Sulphur Crested Cockatoo is no exception to. A cockatoo diet and nutrition plan must be properly followed. A high-quality cockatoo pellet made for their species should be the staple of their diet and fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds should act as supplements. Cockatoos specialize in other treats such as almonds and sunflower seeds which should be rationed to prevent obesity.

Like this young male cockatoo, other birds are also learning to eat solid foods. With the right blend of soft foods and fruits, the transition will be smoother. Clean, fresh water should be at hand to rehydrate your cockatoo and to keep it in good health, its food and water containers must be cleaned daily with fresh water.

Cockatoos, especially the younger ones, need to be interacted with and mentally challenged on a regular basis. Whether your birds have a large cage or a section of your home, they should be furnished with enough space for this Cockatoos species to fly and explore freely, as they need to exercise. Since they are inquisitive by nature, it will be great for them to spend time out of the cage under supervision.

Health and Lifespan

This Cockatoos bird can get along fine and without health issues for many years if cared for correctly, but as with any other pet, an animal check-up is still needed. You should find an avian veterinarian so the bird can be checked and vaccinated on time, which also helps in keeping the bird healthy. With the bird’s behavioral issues such as feather plucking that are common in such breeds, a proper diet, socialization, and mental stimulation goes a long way in preventing them.

With proper care, Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos can live up to 40-60 years, making them a long-term commitment. Owning a cockatoo is not a short-term responsibility, and potential owners should be ready for a lifelong relationship.
