Lesser is smaller in 35cm (14in) long.

cheeks along with underneath their wings along with tail. Mature females have a very reddish or
brown iris while males have a dark brown to black iris.

2. Cockatoos are quite prone to psittacine beak and feather syndrome. This condition is often mistaken
to be a nutritional deficiency because the first indicators are often in the form of overgrown beak and
nails and a lack of powder down. Feather abnormalties in cockatoos should be observed by an avian
vet before assuming it is a nutritional problem.
