A head shot of my wonderful Umbrella Cockatoo Meisha. What a little drama queen! This bird has one of the biggest personalities I have ever met!
From Wikipedia:
The White Cockatoo (Cacatua alba), also known as the Umbrella Cockatoo, is a medium-sized all white cockatoo endemic to tropical rainforest on islands of Indonesia. When surprised, it extends a large and striking head crest, which has a semicircular shape (similar to an umbrella, hence the alternative name). The undersides of the wings and tail have a pale yellow or lemon color which flashes when they fly. It is similar to other species of white cockatoo such as Yellow-Crested Cockatoo, Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo, and Salmon-Crested Cockatoo, all of which have yellow, orange or pink crest feathers instead of white.

Thank you Nick! It is kind of difficult to get a decent shot of her since is always on the move at a hundred miles an hour ;) !
