Cockatoos

Cockatoos, like other birds and parrots, do not have teeth, but their beaks must be kept in excellent working order. Birds with healthy beaks will grind them on their own. The large crests and bent bills distinguish cockatoos. Their plumage is often less colorful than that of other parrots, consisting primarily of white, gray, or black, with contrasting colors in the crest, cheeks, and tail.

Cockatoos prefer seeds, tubers, corms, fruit, flowers, and insects. They frequently forage in big flocks, especially while grazing on the ground. Cockatoos are monogamous and build their nests in tree cavities.

On the other hand, some species have adapted well to human alterations and are considered agricultural pests.
