The Psittacine sub-species "Cacatua sulphurea citrinocristata" (commonly known as the Citron-crested cockatoo) is a most affectionate and impressive Cockatoo. Citrons come from the island of Sumba in Indonesia and are highly endangered. They are alluring, intelligent and can manipulate their 'pet humans' easily. With the correct handfeeding methods and proper nurturing they can be the perfect pet for a single caretaker or a busy family. Citrons are very active and playful, needing a well equipped cage with plenty of toys. This cockatoo does not have the vocal power of the larger sulphur-crested cockatoo, making it more suitable to quieter environments. Let us introduce you to this talented parrot.
