Citron Crested Cockatoo
(Cacatua s. citrinocristata)

 
 
 
 

 

Absolutely adorable springs to mind whenever I think of the Citron. They have a ton of personality and good looks all rolled up in a compact package.

Citrons are good natured birds and will form strong bonds with the ones they love. They are also highly intelligent and quick to learn.

Citrons love to chew and need a good assortment of wooden toys to keep them from becoming bored.
