Moluccan Cockatoos (Salmon Crested Cockatoos)





These birds are one of the largest species of Cockatoos, with light pink to salmon-colored feathers and a large orange crest. They are extremely intelligent and affectionate, though these traits often backfire on caretakers who are not able to meet their intense social and intellectual needs. They have a very loud morning and afternoon call, and in general they are one of the loudest Cockatoo species. These birds are aggressive chewers. They are native to the Phillippines and the Moluccan and Indonesia Islands.
