The Cacatua moluccensis, commonly known as the Moluccan cockatoo, is a large parrot native to the islands of Indonesia, particularly the Moluccas. This bird is easily recognized by its striking pink and white plumage, along with a prominent crest that can be raised or lowered. Moluccan cockatoos are known for their intelligence and strong social bonds, often forming close relationships with their human caregivers. Moluccan cockatoos are primarily herbivorous, feeding on seeds, fruits, and nuts. They are highly vocal and can mimic sounds, making them popular pets, though they require significant attention and care. Due to habitat loss and the pet trade, their populations are declining, leading to their classification as vulnerable by conservation organizations.
