Gang Gang Cockatoo: Personality, Care & Facts<\/span><\/h1>\n

The gang gang cockatoo is one of the most charming and distinctive cockatoos a small, slate-grey bird from the cool forests of southeastern Australia, with the male crowned by a wispy, brilliant-scarlet head and crest.

Personality and temperament<\/span><\/h2>\n

Gang gangs are known for a mild, gentle disposition that sets them apart from the more boisterous cockatoos. They are quieter, calmer and often less demanding, though still social birds that enjoy company and interaction. They are also one of the few cockatoos that are easy to sex at a glance \u2013 only the male has the flamboyant red head and crest, while the female is soft grey \u2013 a difference we cover in our guide to telling a\u00a0male vs female cockatoo<\/a>. Their relative calm makes them a lovely companion, when you can find one.<\/span><\/p>\n

They are among the quieter cockatoos, as noted in our guide to\u00a0cockatoo noise.<\/span><\/p>\n
