I saw a cockatoo with a very short crest with an ordinary cockatoo and took a photo on 13 September in our garden in Hughes.  Then, I thought it must be a juvenile bird and a crest would grow in time, but when I saw a picture of a hybrid cockatoo I began to think differently.  Looking at a picture closely it has eyes of a cocky but a base of beaks is slightly orangey.  Could it be another hybrid??  Sorry, I don't know how to send this picture to you.
