The Greater sulphur-crested cockatoo (Cacatua galerita galerita) is one of Australia's most iconic avians - ever-present across most of the continent's population centres. Along with their striking yellow-on-white colouration, their boisterous nature and often-obnoxious antics make sure their presence is noted no matter where you are - deep in the bush hanging from towering Eucalypts, or the city, tearing into rubbish bins designed to keep them out.
