Salmon-crested Cockatoo

The Salmon-crested Cockatoo, also known as Moluccan Cockatoo or M2, is a cockatoo native to south Moluccas in eastern Indonesia. It is among the largest of the white cockatoos. The female is larger than the males on average. In the wild the Salmon-crested Cockatoo inhabits lowland forests below 1000 m. This bird can no longer be imported into the United States because it is listed on the Wild Bird Conservation Act; however, they are being bred in captivity. They are popular for their beauty and train-ability. The Salmon-crested Cockatoo is widely considered to be the one of the most demanding parrots to keep as a pet due to their high intelligence, large size, potential noise level, and need to chew.
