Red-tinged Sulpher-crested Cockatoo

[Denis Wilson <>]

Yes, Con I can also see the faint reddish tinge.

If he has been crossed with a Corella - it would have to be a "Long-beak" form, as they have such tonings in the base of their chest feathers. (I have a friend who has on old one in a cage, which I get to see regularly) But I see no other signs of Corella influence, in beak or eye patch. 

I was interested to note it is enjoying Pistachio sinensis seeds.Those trees seldom set fruit in Canberra, in my experience.

The bird in this photo appears to have a faint reddish tinge on its breast. Photo taken in the garden yesterday. As far as I can guess, it is pigment and not stain.
