LEADBEATER’S COCKATOO .— Cacatua leadbeateri . 
The Leadbeater, s Cockatoo is not so noisy as the common species, and may 
possibly prove a favourite inhabitant of our aviaries, its soft bluish-white plumage 
and splendid crest well meriting the attention of bird-fanciers. The crest is 
remarkable for its great development, and for the manner in which the bird can 
raise it like a fan over its head, or depress it upon the back of its neck at will 
In either case it has a very fine effect, and especially so when it is elevated, and 
the bird excited with anger or pleasure.
