The pink cockatoo belongs to the genus Cockatoo of the family Cockatoos, with a beautiful body and a body length of about 35 cm. Its beak is grayish-white, as delicate as a jade carving. The nude skin around the eyes is pink or taupe, adding a bit of a unique charm. The pink cockatoo has an alluring pink chest and face, which contrasts with the gray wings and tail feathers, making it unique among birds. The head has a small handful of underdeveloped crown feathers, as if wearing a delicate small crown. The feet are grayish-black, stable and generous.
The iris of the female pink cockatoo is reddish-brown, while the iris of males and chicks is dull black, making the eyes deeper. The newborn chicks are covered with a layer of light pink fluff, like flowers blooming in spring, delicate and lovely.
The pink cockatoo is one of the most widespread parrots in Australia, flying freely in the eastern, central and northern parts of Australia. Whether it is open meadows and woodlands, crop areas, or bustling cities and towns, they are all the stages for their singing and laughter.
Pink cockatoos are social animals and often live in groups of hundreds. When foraging, they will separate into small groups and forage on the ground. Fruits, seeds, drupes, insects, shoots, berries, etc., are among their delicacies.
During the breeding season, pink cockatoos in northern Australia begin nesting and breeding from February to July, while in southern Australia from July to December. They use leaves and twigs to build their nests in tree cavities, and the nests are built very closely. A nest lays about 3-4 eggs, and the parrot couple takes turns incubating them. The incubation period is about 30 days, and the young birds can leave the nest and live independently after 8 weeks.
