Citron Crested Cockatoos (citronocristata)
are a subspecies of the Lesser Sulfur Crested Cockatoo. They have an orange crest,
and are also not as loud as Lesser Sulfur Cresteds.. Proper socializing and good
early experiences are important to prevent behavior problems later in life.

crest is short and thick. They are playful charming little clowns. Bare-eyed Cockatoos
