In a flock of parrots with "flowers and branches"

There is such a clear stream

The "clothes" on them

Or plain white

Or ash doesn't slip autumn

Only the "blush" on the cheek

Extra cute and conspicuous

There was also a handful of tall hairs on the top of his head

It's like sending a signal to everyone:

"Come and play with me!"

(Cockatoo)

These cute parrots are just that – cocktail parrots

That's what we know as the cockatoo!

【Copcard】

Scientific name: Cockatoo

Nicknames: cocktail parrot, carme parrot, high-crested parrot

Classification: Cockatoo family

Distribution: Wild populations are produced in Australia, the number of breeding makes the cockatoo quite common, the current Chinese breeding of cockatoo has gray, flower color and white 3 species.

Personality: Compared to other parrots, the cockatoo is quieter.

Recipes: Eat mainly grains, as well as different types of shrubs, weeds, trees, grass-grown berries and seeds.

Morphological characteristics: The feathers of the cockatoo are generally moderately gray, the lower part of the body is relatively light in color, the orange cheeks, and the wings have large white feather spots. Female cockatoos have a row of small yellow dots under their wings, but males do not have this feature. Artificially bred cockatoos, on the other hand, have a wider variety of plumage, such as the yellowed phoenix with pale yellow feathers.

Habitat: Most wild cockatoos generally inhabit groups on dead branches. They generally move near rivers and streams, as groups whose range of activities depends on the water source.

Unlike parrots such as grey parrots and Amazon parrots, cockatoos have weaker "talking" abilities and less vocabulary, which may disappoint friends who want to communicate with cockatoos!

The long feathers on the heads of cockatoos are a testament to their membership in the family Cockatoo family. This pair of hairs is called the feather crown, which is an important social tool for cockatoos and can also reflect their mood state.

Generally speaking, when the cockatoo is in a calm and peaceful mood, the feather crown is lying backwards. But when they are frightened or nervous, the crown will stand upright, and you must not provoke them. And when their crowns shake up and down, or slightly cocked, it means that they are in a good mood, and everyone can play with them!
