The Australian Sulphur-crested cockatoo; one of the most recognizable birds in the world as they are also popular as pets, can be toilet-trained and socialised and are known to develop speaking skills.  In the wild, they are prone to forming gangs and can be rather destructive.

Taken with the 'Nik' on manual 100ISO and lens extended to 5x optical.
