Do Cacatuoides Flare?

[BethK]

Just a quick question;

Do male cacatuoides flare their gills? I only ask as my new male, seems to flare out his gills to me, when I'm next to the tank but doesn't do it to anyone else.

mrs biffster says yes they do
at an other male or to get the
attention of a female
