This is not a quoll. It is a Major Mitchell’s cockatoo or pink cockatoo.

Normally while just standing around they’re kind of drab-looking pink cockatoos, like galahs but less interesting, then that crest comes up. And wow. Thanks for the well-composed picture, Mr Cockatoo.

These are not quolls. These are red-tailed black cockatoos.

These pictures were taken at Peel Zoo, where the male followed me all around the aviary until he realised i wasn’t going to feed him, and the female came and said hello afterwards. When the male tried to land on me, i was immediately thankful for having lived with a galah and having developed lightning quick parrot-ducking reflexes as a result of it.
