Cockatoo Coloring Sheet for Kids

Meet this cheerful Cockatoo, a clever parrot with a dramatic fan-shaped crest, strong curved beak and gripping feet. Cockatoos are social birds that use calls, body movements and their expressive crests to communicate with their flock. Children can colour the body pearly white or soft cream, then make the raised crest bright lemon yellow or golden for a Sulphur-crested Cockatoo look. Use charcoal or dark grey on the curved beak, pale grey on the feet, and add a light blue or pink ring around the eye. Colour the branch warm brown, the leaves fresh green, the flowers red, purple, orange or pink, the sky gentle blue and the sun sunny yellow. Keep the eye sparkle white, shade each long crest feather separately, and use light strokes along the wings and tail so the Cockatoo looks soft, lively and ready to greet its garden friends.
