Caption

The photo shows a Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita), a species that closely resembles the critically endangered Yellow-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua sulphurea). Despite their similar appearance, accurate classification is crucial for conservation efforts, as the Yellow-crested Cockatoo is critically endangered and requires targeted protection.
