Cockatoos have a fine powder in their feathers, produced by specialized powder down feathers, which helps with feather maintenance. This powder serves to waterproof their feathers, keeping them dry and insulating, while also aiding in removing dirt and debris. Additionally, the powder can help with the prevention of feather lice and other parasites, contributing to their overall health and well-being.
Feathers
Most birds, including cockatoos, have feathers to help keep them warm and protected in harsh weather.
The long feathers on a cockatoo's head are called crest feathers. These feathers can be raised or lowered, allowing the cockatoo to express emotions such as excitement, aggression, or curiosity. The appearance and color of the crest can vary among different species of cockatoos.

The most common issues that cockatiels have are vitamin and calcium deficiencies. Common diseases are: polyoma, yeast infections, and sarcocystosis.
During the day, cockatoos engage in various activities such as foraging for food, which includes seeds, fruits, and nuts. They often socialize in flocks, using vocalizations and physical displays to communicate with each other. Additionally, they may engage in preening to maintain their feathers and take breaks in shaded areas to rest. Cockatoos are also known for their playful behavior, often interacting with their environment and each other.
Cockatoos is the plural of cockatoo.
Male cockatoos are commonly referred to as "cocks." In many species, the males can be identified by their distinctive physical features, such as brighter plumage or more pronounced crest feathers compared to females. These characteristics can vary among the different species of cockatoos, but the term "cock" is widely used to denote male individuals.
Cockatoos do not eat meat of any type.
