| Peaked |
| Capped |
| Tufted |
| Topped out |
| Hit the top |
| Got to a max |
| Like cockatoos |
| Like most jays |
| Reached a peak |
| Like a cardinal |
| Reached an apex |
| Tufted; crowned |
| Like a blue jay |
| Like a cockateel |
| Reached a maximum |
| Like a triceratops |
| Like a snowy egret |
| Reached the summit |
| Reached a high point |
| Like some flycatchers |
| Resembling a cockatoo |
| Hit the top, as a flood |
| Like cockatoos and iguanas |
| Reached a high stage, as a flood |
| Reached a high point, as the tide |
