It is at high risk of extinction in the medium term.
Generally, the female lays 3 or 4 eggs, which she incubates for about 35 days. The chicks have the same colours as their parents, except for the red reflex, which will only appear after one or two years.
The cockatoo is a social and active bird that communicates by loud and distinctive calls. Their erectile crest reveals their emotional state, and they are excellent fliers. They build nests in tree cavities and are intelligent and curious.
The cockatoo is listed as a vulnerable species due to capture for the illegal pet trade and habitat loss.
Their diet consists mainly of seeds, nuts, fruits, coconuts and insects.
It is not yet at risk, but could be soon if conditions worsen.
