Hair, wool, and fur were about as close as guesses got.
Even my showing a different part of the piccie didn't help

The mystery is a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita)
These guys are seen around much of the world as a pet.
Like many of the popular pet parrots including budgerigars (usually known in the US as Common Parakeets) and Cockatiels these guys are Oz natives.
In fact Sulphur Crested Cockys are one of the most common Oz birds. They are so common the Cockies see them as nuisance pests!
Now to avoid confusion I should add in Oz the word "Cocky" means a farmer. We don't have "cowboys" in Oz instead we have "Cow Cockies"!

Cow cockies? Oh, my. That sounds rather...um, never mind.
Another crushing defeat! Fine bird though, cocky or otherwise.
pretty bird :)
Aw, come on, you're pulling our legs, right? A cow cockie? Really??? Sorry, but that totally cracks me up.
