All About Cockatoos and Their Crest

Cockatoos are a type of bird that you can find in places like Australia and some nearby islands. One really special thing about cockatoos is their crest. The crest is a group of feathers on top of their head that can stand up or lay flat.

Why is the crest important? Well, cockatoos use their crest to show how they feel. Sometimes the crest stands up tall when the cockatoo is excited, curious, or scared. Other times, the crest lies down when the bird is calm or relaxed.

The crest makes the cockatoo look different from many other birds and helps it communicate without making any sounds. It’s like when you wave your hands to show how you feel!

So, whenever you see a cockatoo with its feathers on its head raised high, it might be trying to tell you something!
