Female Cockatiel with Vertical Crest at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Washington

The grey face with a muted orange patch indicates this cockatiel is female. The male’s plumage is brighter yellow and orange. Her vertical crest suggests she was excited while being photographed so closely. This charming bird is at the Willawong Station, a walk-in aviary at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Washington. It is a common household pet and native to most of Australia.
