[Man From Ironbark]

Peter,
Cockatoos must be looking for insects.

The Sulphur-crested Cockatoo’s diet includes grass seeds, plants, nuts and insects.
Feeding normally takes place in small to large groups, in the mornings and evenings.
When they are not feeding Sulphur-crested Cockatoos will bite off smaller branches and leaves from trees. This pruning and clipping keeps their beak trimmed and in good condition.
They do chew on plants and their roots and they may also eat cockchafer larvae/grubs.
