Once upon a time, the cockatoos were all white. But if you look in the trees today and see a cockatoo, you’ll notice that its crest is yellow.
Long ago, the other birds teased the cockatoo because he had no colors. One day, he found three colored feathers. He picked them up and put them in his tail.
When he went walking, the other birds noticed that they were their feathers. They started to pluck out the cockatoo’s feathers.
The cockatoo flew and flew and hit the sun.
The sun was so hot that it made his crest yellow and he came shooting back down to earth.
That’s why cockatoos have yellow crests.
