Moluccan Cockatoo (Cacatua Moluccensis)

The Salmon-crested Cockatoo, Cacatua moluccensis also known as Moluccan Cockatoo is a cockatoo endemic to south Moluccas in eastern Indonesia. At 46–52 cm and 850 g, it is among the largest of the white cockatoos.

The best place to see them in the wild is Manusela National Park on the island of Seram, Indonesia.

One of the biggest problems facing this beautiful cockatoo is trapping.  It is not only cruel to the bird, it is causing the rapid decline of the species in the wild.
