The Umbrella Cockatoo is a medium-sized parrot native to the tropical forests of Indonesia, particularly the islands of Sulawesi and Buru. Known for its striking white plumage and a distinctive crest that resembles an umbrella when raised, this bird is popular in the pet trade due to its playful nature and ability to mimic sounds.
These cockatoos are social creatures, often found in small flocks in the wild. They primarily feed on seeds, fruits, and nuts, using their strong beaks to crack open hard shells. Unfortunately, habitat loss and illegal trapping have led to a decline in their populations, making conservation efforts essential.
