Cockatoos - The Drab Parrots

Cockatoos, although colorful, are less colorful than other parrots. Cockatoos (a group that includes about 21 species of medium-sized birds) are primarily white, grey or black with smaller patches of color such as pink, yellow or red on the crest, breast or tail. Cockatoos are, despite their dull coloration, notable for their elaborate crest plumage that they can lift to display.
