The Moluccan Cockatoo, also known as the Cacatua moluccensis, is a large, striking bird native to the islands of Indonesia. It is easily recognized by its vibrant pink and white plumage, along with a prominent crest that can be raised or lowered. These cockatoos are social creatures, often found in flocks, and they thrive in tropical forests, where they feed on seeds, fruits, and nuts.
Moluccan Cockatoos are known for their intelligence and strong vocal abilities, making them popular as pets. However, they require a lot of attention and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. Due to habitat loss and the pet trade, their populations are declining, leading to concerns about their conservation status.
