These birds  are the  large  white  parrots
  that have huge crests on top of their heads
  that is raised to  a verticle position when
  the bird is excited, threatened or display-
  ing for courtship.

  Umbrella  cockatoos  make  one of the  most
  adorable  pets in the  world.  If  properly
  taken care of they can live to 100 years or
  more  (yes, that  is human  years) and  can
  be  trained  to do tricks and  mimic  human
  speach.  They are  very,  affectionate  and
  playful  and can provide a person or family
  with years of love and companionship.

  Besides mimicing human speach, in any lang-
  uage they are great at learning to whistle,
  mimicing beeps from  microwaves, rings from
  different  telephones, a  certain squeak in
  the door or your floor, cry like a new born
  baby,  meow like a cat, bark like a dog and
  can even sound  just like a car alarm......
  and yes it is just as loud too! By no means
  are these birds quiet. They can be extreme-
  ly  LOUD, and they  are not neat and  tidy,
  they actually make a  big mess when they decide to  go on a rampage and throw
  their pellets, seed or fresh food out of  their cage.  They can also be extr-
  emely destructive. If  you have  nice or new  furniture, say good-bye to  it.
  These birds love to chew holes in walls, carpeting, couches, love seats, will
  remove trim off the door and are great at shreading  curtains.  If you cannot
  handle giving your house over to  the real "ruler of the roost" then I do not
  suggest getting any type of large hookbill parrot like cockatoos or macaws!
