Well, I love the cockatoos (though I'm partial to galahs in particular). We have olive trees and fig trees and they love eating the heck out of it, (same with other parrot species like Rosellas) but its always too much for us to eat so we don't mind. They are loud but I don't find it so bad... usually when they are like flying somewhere in a flock. Lately we had a pair of Kookaburras that sit and sing and sing every afternoon, and early morning, they are loud KOO KA KA KA KA KA... its great though, I love them. 
Maybe I have a high tolerance to bird shennanigans but I find them great. The only native birds that are a little annoying (due to swooping/being sneaky and territorial) are the crows and magpies.... but even then I dont mind them too much. But being swooped by a magpie is pretty scary though!
