Quote from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_cockatoo) :
"Similarly, areas of larger tail feathers that are covered by other tail feathers β and the innermost covered areas of the larger crest feathers β are yellow."

Iβm super curious now - I donβt remember seeing yellow feathers under the crests of all the U2βs that I scritch at the rescue, but I wasnβt looking for them either. Now Iβm going to be peering under everyoneβs head feathers next week to satisfy my curiosity lol.

Hey Noodles123,
My umbrella cockatoo has the exact same coloring, I don't think it means they are hybrids.

Rocky's come and go. He's had a few yellow ones in his crest and sometimes he molts them out and they come back all white. They're all white right now. His only yellow ones are in his tail and wings. It may have something to do with the time of year, or environmental factors like what they're eating, too, I don't know.

I notice that to as sometimes Cooper and Baby is all white and then during the winter while molting they get yellow under the Crest?
