What type of cockatoo is this?

[Andybez]

It looks like a large sulphur crested cockatoo with blue rings round the eyes. A lot bigger than my African grey.

Is there supposed to be a pic?

You mean a blue eyed cockatoo?

Crest says sulphur crested cockatoo [family]. Eyes say blue eyed. Could be a hybrid?


If not a hybrid, then a sulphur crested cockatoo with a very blue ring around the eye... any information about the bird? where it came from? Have you tried tracking the leg band?

That's a Sulphur Crested, definitely.

Triton Cockatoo???

Triton Cockatoo???

The more i look at the bird and photo's and info i can find on web. I think your right JerseyWendy. The Triton cockatoo being a sub species of the Greater sulphur crested.

It is a Sulphur Creasted Cockatoo. But i can't be sure what sub-species it is either C.g.fitzroyi or a Triton. Both are similar size, the triton has a much broarder & rounded crest but both have the blue eye ring.

Good description Pedro, def a Sulphur crested, Tritons have a very specific crest.
