The Gang-gang Cockatoo is a charming, medium-sized cockatoo endemic to southeastern Australia, famous for its distinctive wispy crest and unique creaking call.
Where to spot
Eucalypt forests and woodlands, typically in cooler, wetter highland areas, in southeastern Australia, including the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, and Victoria.
How to spot
Look for its grey plumage with a wispy, forward-curving crest. Males have a red head; females are entirely grey-crested. Listen for its distinctive, creaking 'gang-gang' call, which sounds like a squeaky gate.
When to spot
Active during the day, often seen feeding on eucalyptus seeds. Observable year-round, though some populations move to lower elevations in winter.
