What do you call a sulphur-crested cockatoo crossed with a galah?

A cocklah of course (my interpretation)!

Apparently there is one of these birds kept at a motel in Cardwell.  It is
between the size of a galah and a cockatoo, has a cockatoo bill and is white
on the back and honey-brown on the chest and face and is a great talker.
Apparently a lady on the Tablelands breeds them.

Great bird for overseas twitchers!      Jan
