A Yellow-crested Cockatoo is a medium-sized parrot that is found in various parts of the world, including Australia, New Guinea, and Indonesia. They are easily recognizable by their bright yellow crest, which they use to communicate with other cockatoos. These birds are known for their playful personality, and they love to interact with their human families. They can be quite vocal, and they often make a variety of noises, including screeching, whistling, and laughing.

These birds are omnivorous, which means that they eat both plants and animals. In the wild, they typically eat seeds, fruits, nuts, insects, and small reptiles. As pets, they can be fed a variety of different foods, including pellets, mix fruits, vegetables, and meat. It is important to ensure that your cockatoo has a balanced diet so that it stays healthy.

Yellow-crested Cockatoos typically live for around 25 years in the wild.
