Cockatoos

The Australian Greater Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita galerita) belongs to one of the largest species of Cockatoo. They are primarily white with a yellow or sulphur coloured crest on the top of their head. A highly intelligent bird, they are well known in aviculture, although they can be demanding pets.

The Little Corella (Cacatua sanguinea), also known as the Bare-Eyed Cockatoo, Blood-Stained Cockatoo, Short-Billed Corella, Little Cockatoo, and Blue-Eyed Cockatoo, is a white Cockatoo native to Australia and southern New Guinea.

The Palm Cockatoo (Probosciger aterrimus), also known as the Goliath Cockatoo or Great Black Cockatoo, is a large smoky-grey or black parrot of the Cockatoo family. It lives in rainforests and woodlands. It has a very large black beak and prominent red cheek patches.

The Solomons Cockatoo (Cacatua ducorpsii), also known as the Ducorps’s Cockatoo, Solomons Corella or Broad-Crested Corella, is a species of Cockatoo endemic to the Solomon Islands archipelago. This small white cockatoo is larger than the Tanimbar Corella yet smaller than the Umbrella Cockatoo.

Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo (Lophochroa leadbeateri), also known as Leadbeater’s Cockatoo or the Pink Cockatoo, is a medium-sized Cockatoo restricted to arid and semi-arid inland areas of Australia, though it is seen regularly in other climates, for example, South-East Queensland’s subtropical region. These birds nest in pairs in woodlands and treeless areas, always near water.

The Salmon-Crested Cockatoo (Cacatua moluccensis), also known as the Moluccan Cockatoo, is a cockatoo endemic to the Seram archipelago in eastern Indonesia. At a height of up to 46–52 centimetres and weight of up to 850 grams, it is among the largest of the white cockatoos.

The Galah (Eolophus roseicapilla), also known as the Pink and Grey Cockatoo or Rose-Breasted Cockatoo, is the only species within genus Eolophus of the cockatoo family. Found throughout Australia, it is among the most common of the cockatoos.

It is white, with a large yellow crest that it can raise. It is 45–55 cm (18–22 in) long and can live up to 40 years. This subspecies differs from the Australian greater sulphur-crested cockatoo in that it is smaller, with broader crest feathers and has a pale blue periophthalmic ring instead of white.
