 Joe Forshaw's book "Australian
Parrots" answers these questions. This species is not as noisy as other
cockatoos. I would say they are closest to Gang-gang Cockatoos in types of calls
they make and general disposition.

    Hi all, 
    Can anyone tell me does anyone know of or have any information on Glossy
    Black Cockatoos in Captivity? I wish to know how they look after these birds
    in captivity being that Glossies are specialist feeders. I have heard papers
    have been written on glossies by a man called John Courtney does anyone have
    copies of his paper? Also would anyone say Glossies are a loud species in
    the wild? As i heard someone state that Glossies are noisier than
    corellas, Galahs or Sulphur-crested Cockatoos and i have seen them in the
    wild before and would disagree with this. Well thanks for your
    time
  Yours Sincerely
