Australian feathered screamer
A cockatoo is a large parrot native to Australia and nearby islands, typically white or pale-colored with a distinctive crest of feathers that rises when the bird is excited or alarmed.
Cockatoos are popular as pets, known for their intelligence, loud calls, and long lifespans: The cockatoo shrieked whenever someone entered the room.
