The Sulphur (Yellow) Crested Cockatoo, a Parrot, can be seen in eastern parts of Australia, Perth region and New Guinea.

This beautiful yet somewhat noisy bird can be kept as pets, although they are high maintenance as they feel the need to be close to their partner and will screech loudly, hoping for a similar response. They also love chewing on available wood, such as a nearby favourite piece of furniture or window frames.

As these birds often feed on seeds found on the ground, in larger numbers, at least one of them will always be perched high on a nearby tree or other object to loudly warn the others about the approach of potential predators.

They also have been recorded dancing to music but that’s another story. Apparently, this one, Snowball^TM, dances better than me. So I have been told.

Places to See Birdlife

The National Parks and State Reserves are often the best places to spot native and migratory birdlife. There are also a number of amazing nature parks for people to visit:

• Healesville Sanctuary - Zoos Victoria. Situated in the beautiful Yarra Valley Region, about a one hour drive from Melbourne. See Healesville Sanctuary.
• Birdworld Kuranda - Cairns Queensland. This free flying bird sanctuary protects birds from all over earth as well as endangered species from Australia. See more Birdworld Kuranda.
• Sydney: Taronga Zoo - take the ferry from Circular Quay in the city for all kinds of wonderful animals.
• Phillip Island.
• Queensland Gold Coast - Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary see Gold Coast Queensland
