    On second thoughts, it will probably sink like a stone with no comments. My threads usually do.

    Well they couldn't be called remainers because people actually want these to live with them

    Those aren't parrots (Psittacoidea) , they're cockatoos (Cacatuidae), although they all belong to the order Psittaciformes

    Similarly those white thugs aren't patriots , they are only interested in their own small subset of the UK's inhabitants. PAtriots support the whole country.

    HTH

    If you insist. Parrots don't have crests. Cockatoos do.

    And by crest, that means a group of feathers on the top of the head that can be raised rather than a passive tuft. As the birds in the OP are happily demonstrating.

    HTH.
