Sultan is a Moluccan Cockatoo. Also known as Salmon-creasted Cockatoo. He is about 12 years old. The gray you see on his beak is called feather dust. Healthy cockatoos have a lot of it and when they preen, their beaks become covered with it. The black tip of his beak is wetness. Moluccans have pinkish feathers throughout their other feathers and a beautiful orange crest.

That's one trippy bird.

They wear their crowns like Kings! Carnival Kings!
