Citron-crested Cockatoo
Cacatua citrinocristata (Fraser, 1844)
Cacatuidae — Cockatoos
Citron-crested Cockatoo, Cacatua citrinocristata, is a cockatoo of Sumba in the Lesser Sundas, within Australasia. It is found only on that island. Its orange crest is the key feature, along with a dark grey bill, pale orange ear patches, strong feet and claws, and very light blue eyelids. The underside of the larger wing and tail feathers is pale yellow. The sexes look alike apart from the eye, which is copper in the female and very dark black in the male.
